Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A, also known as "Jesus Chicken or JC Chicken" by my cynical friends, was the choice of this evening's tea adventure. Man, 2 doses in a single day, good times! So you might be wondering the story behind the name... In a nutshell, what started this was everyone at lunch one day was admiring how delicious the food was, and the tea of course, so the discussion moved to how awesome the breakfast chicken biscuit is. Out of nowhere, Ben unleashes the furry about how you can't get one on Sunday because they are closed. The pain train then continued to the station and the phrase was coined like a newly stamped quarter from the mint.

Enough useless history, what about the tea? I would rate this above Jersey Mike's Sub's tea only because it is a fraction better on the sweet content. Just a bit sweeter. Tonight's was also a bit watery, just slightly below Mike's. I need to eat at the Parmer and Braker location's to get a consistency check. Tonight's drinking was at the North Austin 620 location.

Here is another well kept secret that my friend Mark pointed out to me. Refills are free! You stand to the right of the ordering counter, (see diagram A) and put your cup in the secret position, which is removing the lid half off the top. You just stand there like a statue, then give them "the nod" and boom, somebody comes over and asks what you are drinking. All these years, I felt cheated, only taking a drink when I absolutely needed one, trying to make it last. When I witnessed Mark getting a refill I couldn't believe it. I assumed he had some kind of inside connection! I was quite confused and stood there like a deer in headlamps witnessing the holy grail being refilled...
