Celebrity encounter

Guess which famous person I met last night?


Hint: a person who has influenced you by making your tummy smile.


I met Mr. Cathy- the son and CEO (chicken executive officer-his joke, not mine) of ChickFilA!

Can you believe it?

I was so pumped.

My awesome friend knows all the right people. She got an invitation to the Austin Customer Appreciation Banquet at the Austin Music Hall. She could invite 3 people. I was one of the chosen ones:)

Oh boy! I was so pumped. I kept telling all my 8th graders. They were so jealous.
Why is ChickFilA so stinkin' good??

Well, there's a reason ChickFilA is not a buffet operating restaurant. And the reason is my pants would not allow it. Wow, did we eat a lot of food last night.

The serving line included spicy and regular chicken sandwiches. The man practically congratulated me when I chose the spicy version. Heck yah I'm not a sissy! And trays and trays of chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, wraps, and brownies. Oh yah, I think they had this thing called fruit. But that was a tad overlooked in the smoorgezborg of food.

Then after you sat down, waiters came around serving additional tenders and nuggets. Oh stop the madness.

I love ChickFilA. It was so great to hear the story and how the mission of the restaurant is centered around honoring God. Thank you Mr. Cathy for helping me like your amazing restaurant a little more.

P.S. Talks are in the works for going internationally. Asians love chicken!

I also scored a goodie bag with a stuffed cow and free coupons.
It was cool, and I'm way cooler now for getting to be in attendance:)
