So, I've started a new sort-of diet plan (i.e., I'm keeping a detailed journal of the food I eat and the activities I participate in to burn off the calories of said food--more on that next month when our theme will be Giant Healthy Penguin), but that doesn't mean our Fridays together have to suffer. Friday has traditionally been my day to share pictures of delicious, decadent, and downright insane dishes with all of you, and no diet is going to get in the way of that.I started keeping a food journal on February 1st, so on January 31st, the last day of my previous eating plan, AKA the "whatever I sees, I eats" plan, I paid a visit to the good people at Zaxby's and ordered a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich Meal (the aforementioned sandwich, crinkle-cut fries, and a drink), as well as, an order of half-priced wings. Now I'm not a big chain guy. I don't have some pompous, holier-than-thou attitude about them or anything, just given the choice, I'd rather patronize a local eatery or even a local chain before settling on one of the Big Boys. Again, I do enjoy a visit to a chain once in awhile. I like Five Guys. I've had many pleasurable experiences at my local Chipotle. And who doesn't like a nice Jersey Mike's Italian hoagie swimming in oil, vinegar, and mayo?
All that aside, I must commend Zaxby's on this limited edition, instant classic. The Chicken Parmesan Sandwich may be one of the best things I've ever shoved into my mouth-hole. That's right, I'm singing the praises of corporate chicken and I don't care. This sandwich is amazing. If there is a Heaven, this is the sandwich served at God's Chef's Table. This sandwich is so delicious, I actually felt like I was cheating on my wife while eating it. This sandwich had me on the verge of orgasm several times, but I resisted the plunge into ecstasy, as my cat was watching me eat.
I've made my point. Zaxby's Chicken Parmesan Sandwich is simply three Zaxby's chicken strips (they probably have some kind of crazy name, like, strips probably ends in a "z" or something), smothered in large quantities of marinara and garlic parmesan sauce, and jammed between two buttery slices of Texas toast. I want one now!
I can't say enough good stuff about Zaxby's Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. And as far as I know, the Zaxby's Coporation doesn't hate gay people. See, Chick-fil-A, it is possible to serve a tasty sandwich AND not disenfranchise an entire cross-section of the American public.
