Houston restaurant lampoons Chick-fil-A with ‘chick-on-chick’ sandwich - Polidicks

[quote] Chick-fil-A has been joined in the realm of restaurants espousing their opinions about same-sex marriage. In Houston, a local eatery called Beaver’s has added a tongue-in-cheek offering to its menu in support of gay mariage in the form of a sandwich loaded with chicken and double entendre. The name of that meal: [URL="http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2012/08/nevermind_chick-fil-a_check_ou.php"]the chick-on-chick sandwich.[/URL] The Beaver’s menu describes the sandwich—the creation of owner and chef Monica Pope, who is gay— as containing, ”two loving chicken breasts married on toasty buns with a honey mustard witness and joined in celebration with tolerant fries.” Appropriately, the sandwich debuted on Friday, which also happened to be National Same-Sex Kiss Day where gay and lesbain activists staged [URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/04/lgbt-activists-target-chick-fil-a-with-kiss-in/"]kiss-ins at Chick-fil-A’s nationwide t[/URL]o protest the chain’s owner’s intolerance toward gay marriage. Chick-fil-A has quickly and surprisingly become a symbol to both opponents and proponents of same sex marriage in recent weeks after owner and COO Dan Cathy affirmed his support for the “Biblical definition of the family unit.” In response, politicians in several cities, including [URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/22/boston-mayor-vows-to-keep-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-out-of-city/"]Boston[/URL] and [URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/29/nyc-city-council-speaker-pressing-chick-fil-a-to-get-out-of-town/"]New York[/URL], said the chain ran counter to their cities’ beliefs and was therefore unwelcome. On the other side of the debate, conservatives rallied to the restaurant’s defense, with Mike Hucakbee, Sarah Palin and others urging people to show their support for “traditional” marriage by eating there.[/quote] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/04/houston-restaurant-lampoons-chick-fil-a-with-chick-on-chick-sandwich/[/url] Normally I wouldn't post this but the name of the restaurant and the fact that it's owner is lesbian makes this too funny.

Sounds delicious.

I was wondering how long it would take for the competition to market off of CFA's bigotry.

that owns

this is getting silly

11$'s!! sorry a tolerant society isn't worth that

[QUOTE=thisispain;37102676]11$'s!! sorry a tolerant society isn't worth that[/QUOTE] And that lemonade better be pretty damn good/big for $5 extra.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;37102702]And that lemonade better be pretty damn good/big for $5 extra.[/QUOTE] I'm sure it's delicious.

The fact the place is called Beaver's makes it all the better.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;37102702]And that lemonade better be pretty damn good/big for $5 extra.[/QUOTE] I can get 2 slices of pizza and a soft drink can for $5 at uni.

Wow, when it comes to a topical food item, you can leave it to Beaver to make it. Also, this Chick-on-Chick sandwich appears to be about £7 with fries, which seems kinda expensive though it's probably higher quality than the average not-so good burgers you get at the average fast food joint like McDonald's or Burger King (Big Mac is still ok in my books). Regardless, £3.20 for a lemonade means it better be the best lemonade ever. Turns out a Lynchburg Lemonade is a cocktail based on Tennessee whiskey; common ingredients include 1 part sour mix, 1 part Jack Daniels, 1 part Curaçao triple sec, and 4 parts lemon-line soda. So i'd probably say it's worth at least 5 bucks/3 quid. If it has whiskey in it, it sounds like a good idea to me.

can we fast forward to the point in time where we get past all this pointless arguing and wars?

[QUOTE=MightyMax;37106084]can we fast forward to the point in time where we get past all this pointless arguing and wars?[/QUOTE] yeah civil rights issues annoy the heck out of me too

Personally, I think eating tolerant fries is immoral. I mean, they're fries but they're tolerant.

This has gone beyond petty, and way past my attention span.

I support this so long as there are no two-weiners hot dogs coming around anytime soon.

Between that time and the present day, aeons worth of bloodshed had passed; countless civilisations had risen and fallen over the hundreds of trillions of years of the universe's history. Attempts to curb the eternal conflicting nature of life had always failed; the terror of emotionally-neutered intelligences, linked together in numb hiveminds, had always been quashed by those who could still feel. Without emotions, life was so boring that even survival was not worth it.[/I] All in all conflict can't be removed from life, save for chemical lobotomies or mind control, which are bad.

It depresses me when I think about all the big meaty cocks they had to cut up to make this food. [img]http://www.facepunch.com//fp/emoot/smith.gif[/img]

We have a restaurant that did something like this here in Austin. It has the less clever name, "The Gay-Filet"

[QUOTE=thisispain;37102676]11$'s!! sorry a tolerant society isn't worth that[/QUOTE] It's even more overpriced than cfa

Beaver's is fucking delicious, it's 20 minutes from my house and they let you put a fried egg on anything you order, which is awesome, I had no idea that they'd do something like that. I need to go there this weekend.
