Trust Clark Howard to bring us highlights (and low-lifes) in chain restaurant dining. He's sampling some of the August Consumer Reports magazine fare (who knew they did this?)
In-N-Out Burger, the best
McD's and BK, yuckiest
Chick fil A, the best
KFC, almost the worst of every fast food restaurants, period.
Papa Murphy's Pizza got the 2nd highest score of all restaurants. Presumably that made them the top pizza place, too.
I like Papa Murphy's just fine. KFC, McD's and BK, not so much. In-N-Out, I like them just fine too.
But Chick fil A, I will never eat at, until they change their prejudicial ways.
They've been so careful in how they word things since their sponsorship of a group meeting that is anti-gay marriage, blew up in their faces. But until they actually support marriage rights for everyone, just saying they respect everyone is a lie. They want to get your business, and they won't come out and virulently or hatefully attack your desire to have a gay marriage. But until they offer to send any married gay employees to their marriage seminars, as they do their straight employees, it's clearly all smoke and mirrors.
They can't dance to that rigid Christian piper and expect us not to boycott them for calling those bigoted tunes.
Too many of my internet acquaintances are pro gay-rights but are so infatuated with Chick fil A fries, they can't boycott. I would since I've given up other beloved/useful businesses, but I'd never tried them before I'd heard they were fundamentalists (long before this particular blowup), so I've never eaten there.
