California Man Holds Delicious Chick-fil-A Record
How many consecutive days could you eat Chickfila? Except Sundays, of course! Digging back into the news archive, we found reports about a teenage boy in Atlanta who broke a record by eating at Chickfila more than 100 days in a row. That inspired Mark Mendenhall, known as the mayor of his Chickfila, to eat Chickfila 114 days in a row. On day 15, Mark was at Disneyland with his family. He drove back to his Chickfila to keep the streak alive and then rejoined his family at Disney! Then in 2020, a Pennsylvania man saw that story and thought he could beat it. Matt Stoudt ended up with a 132-day Chickfila streak. Ben Boyles saw that story and got inspired. In this episode you'll meet Ben, the California man who holds this delicious record. And he did it all for charity! This episode was produced by and edited by Jim Mann, . For more fan experiences visit . Connect with us on or follow us on .

Road Trip Chick-fil-A Style: We're Headed to Hapeville, Home of The Dwarf House

Road Trip Chick-fil-A Style: We're Headed to Hapeville, Home of The Dwarf House
Elvis had Graceland. The Vanderbilts had The Biltmore. And Truett Cathy had the Dwarf House. Originally built in Hapeville, Georgia in 1946 with only 10 stools and four booths, the 512-square foot diner became the birthplace of the Original Chick-fil-A sandwich. Opened by Truett and his brother Ben, people flocked to the tiny restaurant 24-hours-a-day, 6-days-a-week to chow down on 20 cent cheeseburgers and 65 cent steak plates. The restaurant shut down in April 2021 to undergo a massive renovation. Jim Mann and Alison Storm took a tour of the brand new location, which is part-restaurant, part-museum to the legacy of Chickfila. Guests are welcomed by a life-size statue of Truett sitting on a bench out front. The iconic little red door is still an option for entering the (not so dwarf-like) 10,000 square foot restaurant. Inside, regulars will notice the familiar stained glass windows, retro brick and even light fixtures that once decorated the original Dwarf House. This episode was edited by Jim Mann, .
