Chick-fil-A tests sweet potato fries

Submitted by Samantha Davidson on Friday, May 6th, 11:32 am

Chick-fil-A has launched a new product.

You can't buy it across the country, but it is available in the Mid-South - sweet potato fries!

The new waffle fries are being tested in the Memphis market.

They launched May 2, and are sold in addition to the traditional waffle french fries.

Look for them at area stores in the near future.

Top Chef Masters contestant Chef John Currence owns a number of restaurants in Oxford, Mississippi. This weekend I ate at Big Bad Breakfast. The menu offers breakfast like poached eggs with country ham and oatmeal pancakes with strawberries. It also offers lunch like burgers, griddle-fried hot dogs and Coca-Cola brined fried chicken. It's the perfect place to eat brunch.

Check out the full menu here: http://citygroceryonline.com/restaurant.php?bbb

Groundhog Day could mean free eats at Chick-fil-A

Submitted by Samantha Davidson on Monday, January 24th, 2:43 pm

It could be a double dose of good news Groundhog Day morning, if the groundhog predicts an early spring.

If the groundhog doesn't see his shadow, customers won't have to pay for a spicy chicken biscuit at Memphis and North Mississippi area Chick-fil-A restaurants.

The giveaway will be Wednesday, Feb. 2.

A portion of all sales from the Groundhog Day giveaway will be donated to MIFA.
