Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Mmm... waffle fries! And chicken sandwiches with pickles! This Thursday, a new Chick-Fil-A is opening in Lauderhill (8190 W.
Commercial Blvd.), and the company is passing out coupons for free meals to the first 100 adult customers in line at 6 a.m.
At first, we thought this was just a cheap publicity stunt, but then we did the math: Each of those tickets is for a year's worth of food (well, a meal a week). Times 100, that's
There's a catch: The lines for these promotions tend to form 24 hours in advance, and you may have to
fight off "The Herd," a group of friends who dress up like cows and
travel to Chick-Fil-A openings around the country.

Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism.
