The comedian hilariously explains why he believes Chick-fil-A doesn't count as a fast-food joint. He makes a compelling case as to why the popular chicken chain is not a fast-food restaurant. Instead, according to him, it's a step above fast food. Check out the short video to hear the hysterical reasons behind his surprising claim.

Everyone has a favorite fast-food restaurant, even if they don’t want to admit it. That reticence likely comes from knowing that fast food isn’t the healthiest option and that we all could and should eat less of it. But sometimes you just crave McDonald’s french fries or a Wendy’s frosty.

If people were asked to list their favorite fast-food joint, McDonald’s, Burger King and Five Guys (my favorite) would likely be popular choices. Another one sure to get a lot of votes in our made-up poll would be Chick-fil-A. Every time you drive by one of their locations, regardless of the time of day, the drive-thru line stretches out into the road, disrupting traffic.

In a clip posted on YouTube, comedian John Crist claims that Chick-fil-A does not meet the requirements to be considered fast food. He hysterically claims it’s a step above fast food.
His first reason has to do with their outstanding customer service.

“One of the employees came up and asked me if they could refresh my beverage,” he said. “Yeah, it’s called a refill. OK, that’s table service. That’s called a waiter. You ever get that at Popeyes? No, you don’t.”

His next reason concerns the shape and cut of Chick-fil-A’s fries.

“Fast food is french fries,” Jon says. “OK, Chick-fil-A has waffle fries. That is an elevated potato experience.”

Next, Jon mentions how the restaurant famously shuts down on Sunday.

“It’s closed on Sunday,” he said. “They do that to go to church and then spend the rest of the afternoon harvesting the crops.”

While he gives some hilariously good reasons why Chick-fil-A is a step above a typical fast-food restaurant, they are still technically fast food. I think many people would agree with me.
