Don't know about Cow Appreciation Day?
Don't have a Chick-fil-A?
Don't want to dress up like a cow in public?
STINKS to be you, my friend. Stinks to be you.
Wife and I jumped at the chance this year, as usual.
For starters, it aligns with two of my life principles:
- If it's free, take it*
- If it's free food, eat it
And if you have three locations within a reasonable driving distance, I suggest you hit all three of them up in one day...
...like I did.
Free Meal #1: Breakfast
Sidekicks: Wife, Redneck Friend
The Haul: Chicken biscuit, hash browns, sweet tea
All this was free just for wearing a few cow spots, cow ears, and an "Eat Mor Chikin" sign. What a way to start the day!
Free Meal #2: Lunch
Sidekicks: Redneck Friend, Peeps from work
The Haul: Chicken sandwich w/ cheese and bacon, waffle fries, Coke with lemon
We ate in for lunch, and the place was buzzing. There were a few unimpressed-looking people who acted too cool to participate in the tomfoolery, but I just clutched my free food and mooed at them.
Free Meal #3: Dinner
Sidekicks: Solo mission
The Haul: Grilled chicken club sandwich w/ honey roasted BBQ sauce, carrot and raisin salad, sweet tea
Wife left me for another state, so I worked a little late and hit the drive-thru on the way home. This was my first time going alone, so the drive-thru really came in handy.
Now tell me: how could all this free food not make your day? No need to let embarrassment stop you: I have all kinds of tricks to make the whole thing a manly, respectable experience.
Maybe I'll share those ideas sometime...
*Please use discretion. Don't get crazy.
