I was greatly amused a few weeks ago to read that right-wingers were having fits because Chick-fil-A, a company that struts its “Christian” right-wingery, was market-testing a cauliflower sandwich. I had never been to a Chick-fil-A for two good reasons: I don’t want to patronize a company that struts its right-wingery, and I haven’t eaten chicken for years.
But today, while on a grocery run to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods in Winston-Salem, I felt a bit peckish, and I happened to be near a Chick-fil-A. So why not try out the cauliflower sandwich and have a bit of fun thumbing my nose at the deplorables? It seems the test sandwich is available only in Denver, Charleston, and Greensboro/Winston-Salem. Those three places are places that vote blue.
Surprise, surprise. It tasted just like fast food, though fortunately it didn’t taste like chicken. If the cauliflower sandwich is still on their menu a year or two from now, perhaps I’ll even go have another one.

I made the mistake of ordering a real hamburger from Lazy Dog Eatery. A restaurant that loves dogs and one can sit in the courtyard while their dog rests on a mat nearby. I wanted to order their ½ tuna salad sandwich with salad, but got caught up in the smells of burgers grilling and ordered it. I told my wife Vicky “God I fell terrible after eating that thing” – should woulda stayed with my original thought – the beer was exceptional so that helped a bit.
Hi Henry: Beer and tuna salad sandwiches are divine together! But a burger every now and then is temptation everybody deals with, I think…
