(Crain’s) — Known for its ads with cows imploring customers to “Eat Mor Chikn,” the Chick-Fil-A Inc. chicken sandwich chain has struck a deal for its first restaurant in the home of the Big Mac.
Atlanta-based Chick-Fil-A has agreed to buy the site of a shuttered restaurant next to the Westfield Fox Valley Shopping Center in Aurora, where the company plans to tear down the existing structure to build a new restaurant with a drive-through.
Before dreams were made reality and my absolute favorite chicken based fast food chain decided to grace Aurora, Illinois (which is a suburb of Chicago) with its presence... we would have to (in theory) drive allll the way up to a mall in Racine, Wisconsin to get to those delicious waffle fries, chicken sandwiches and lemonade, y'all...
Now? I'm already salivating at the promise of a FREE STANDING Chick Fil A just a mere 41.9 miles away (I google mapped it). And while you're there you might as well grab a donut...
non-existent.
and watch the planes go by with Wayne and Garth...
fictional characters.
Whatever, it'll be awesome.
Now, if you'll excuse me... I'm going to write in my diary about how I wish Chicago had a Bertucci's, an In 'n Out Burger and a Friendly's.

Ahhhhh! I'm so jealous. My closest Chick-fil-a is 82.9 miles away.
