I like to think of myself as a manly man. And thus when I take a bite into a sandwich, I want it not only to taste good, but to feel good to my masculine needs. What could inspire such a beautiful blend? Such a magnificent mixture?

After all, I can always eat a little more, so when I order a meal I have to be fairly sure that I'll be able to finish it without regretting it later. The Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich could perhaps be a bit more filling, but on the whole, this department's nothing to truly complain about.
