We began our trip with Chick-fil-A. We ended our trip with Chick-fila. We actually visited the original Chick-fila. It was called The Dwarf House. I almost got down and kissed the ground. It was like a pilgrimage. The Dwarf House is the Holy Grail for chicken sandwich lovers!
For what it's worth, one of my dominant memories from my ruptured intestines ordeal a few years ago was a craving for Chick-fil-A. I had been eating hospital food for about week and the first "non-hospital" food was a chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A.
For what it's worth, we also discovered that the Dwarf House isn't just the oldest Chick-fil-A. It's also the slowest. But still worth the wait :)
Here's The Original Chicken Sandwich Story that Chick-fil-A puts on all their bags.
From the kitchen of a small Hapeville, Georgia restaurant, The Dwarf House, came a sandwich that struck fear in hamburger patties everywhere. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A, created the very first chicken sandwich over 40 years ago. Other places have tried to mimic the one-of-a-kind taste, but much to their bewilderment their efforst haven't been successful. The reason is simple. The Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is the one and only. the taste is unique, with its perfectly seasoned breast of chicken, a toasted bun and those two crucial pickles. So anyone else's attempt at a more delicious chicken sandwich will be as futile as trying to get a cow to lay eggs.
I love that last line :)

How did you get back to D.C. by going through Hapeville?
Please don't tell me you drove south of Atlanta just to eat there. :)
If so, Mark you have issues. :)
There are worse addictions out there Gary :)
It was actually on the way to the airport. Sort of :)
Mark, your the "Man". Chick-fil-A is the greatest. My wife and I get a hard time, because we Chick-fil-A "evangelists".
That is a pretty twisted route to the airport!
Next time you are in ATL let us know and we'll hook you up at corporate headquarters!
Jason,
So glad we bumped into each other at Catalyst!
Chick-fil-A corporate headquarters is now on my pilgrimage list :)
Mark
Yeah, it was great to meet you as well!
If you ever need "connections" to get in just shoot me a note. That is a case where it is definitely not WHAT I know but WHO I know . . . translation, my WIFE's family is Chick-fil-a connected!
You married well :)
