Chick-fil-A doesn’t need NYC. They are doing just fine without them!

Next, Chick-fil-A needs to start giving out free Bibles with all combo meals at its Manhattan locations.

When I was a wee little girl, Gino’s was my favorite restaurant and my folks would take me there for my birthday.

Burger, fries, strawberry shake.

Yum
 
It was owned by Gino Marchetti who played for the Baltimore Colts in the '50s and '60s.
 
It would be sufficient to put bible quotes on the sandwich wrappers. Of course, McDonalds could do that too. It might rate another New Yorker article.
 
Getting somewhere now. Even their trash would proclaim the good news.
 
I don’t think it’s CFA NYer is worried about.

I think it’s God. I’m serious. He spends eighty percent of that article essentially bashing (in a very underhanded sort of way) religion in general.

Anyone else think this?

I am a New Yorker reader and I agree that this article was pretty snarky. But it sounds like this fast food chain will successfully join all the other myriad of food options in the Big Apple. Full disclosure: I’m vegetarian!

Their waffle fries are awesome. And I think they fry in veggie or sunflower oil. I think. Check, of course.

But a large waffle fry from them has been my lunch many a day. They’re THAT good.

With Jim’s and Pat’s (I don’t like Geno’s), I couldn’t imagine getting a cheesesteak anywhere else!

I’m too far from Jim’s or Pat’s, but there are 1001 independent delis all over the city and burbs that do virtually any sandwich better than Wawa. Heck, the cold case deli at the Giant Food is equal to or better than 90 percent of Wawa.
I have a little yen for the Wawa Napa Valley Chicken Salad on a croissant…that’s about it.

I don’t like Geno’s either. Jim’s and Pat’s are both good. I’ve heard good things about a place called Steve’s Prince of Steaks but I haven’t gotten there yet.

Most readers of the NYT have this attitude, in my experience. They are all “globalists” which means they’re on the same page with most of London and various other large cities. They see religion as an anachronism to motivate the masses to commit acts of war, terrorism and prejudice.
If it were Wicca in the park they’d probably be nice to it though because Wiccans are an “oppressed minority”.
 
Sadly, I think you’re right. Christian bashing, at the moment, is “hip”.

Especially for southern Baptists and evangelicals like S. Truett Cathy who stand in stark contrast to everything I think uber-liberal NYC represents. The fact that he was a Christian philanthropist who died worth quite a few bucks under his own hand must grate on some on Wall Street.

I am sure that there is a demand… I’m interested that it has not happened
 
Wall Street is not going to have a problem with anything that makes money. If turning to Jesus could increase their earnings by a few percentage points, they’d all convert tomorrow. A lot of them are probably down at some wealthy church or some Prosperity Gospel church regularly, even if it’s only to network.

it’s these “intellectuals”, most of whom in my experience are not all that rich but pride themselves on having all kinds of cultural capital and brain power, who sit around all day bashing religion. A percentage of them came to NYC or similar areas in flight from oppressive religious (often evangelical) communities where they grew up and want nothing to do with that stuff. They would lump it in with having an uncool accent or eating at Applebees. I can understand the mindset as I have friends in that category, but it’s a shame they did not have a positive experience of God growing up. When somebody dies or gets cancer, they do not have a good framework to cope with it.
 
My point was I’m sure there are plenty of people on Wall Street who cannot reconcile his success with his Christianity. That will grate on some nerves. The fact that he did it is my point. There are those who can’t believe a relatively nice guy (obviously he was a businessman first and foremost) actually finished first.

Not on Wall Street as a whole. Not “Wall Street” as an entity.

There used to be this place near me in S. Jersey called Fuddrucker’s. They buttered their rolls too, so delicious. They closed down years ago though.

We have Fuddruckers in STL. I’ve only been once and wasn’t impressed 🤷

Best burger in St. Louis is a non-chain place called O’Connell’s. I’ve never eated at Chic-Fil-A, or Culvers for that matter, although they are all over the place here. My daughter loves CFA! Might have to try a Culvers Butter Burger…sounds yummy
 
In STL? Where is it? It’s been a long, London time since I ate at one. They used to bee very good. Maybe I’ll try it the next time we pass through the area.
 
Sunset Hills Plaza in South County by Home Depot and Pet Smart, but in the little strip mall in front of the bigger strip mall
