DFAC enters ‘chicken sandwich war’

Filed · 1552

TRAVIS AFB, Calif. — The dining facility (DFAC) at Travis Air Force Base has boldly proclaimed they have the best chicken sandwich on earth, jumping feet first into the so-called "Chicken Sandwich War" raging between fast food chains Popeyes and Chick-Fil-A. The conflict began last month when Popeye’s announced the arrival of the chicken sandwich to their menu.

DFAC manager Karen Williams was reportedly enraged when she noticed a sharp decline in customers at the DFAC and a line out the door at the base Popeye’s, thanks to the new chicken sandwich.

“The Chicken Sandwich War is a massive scam that's hurting smaller chicken vendors,” Williams says. “Chick-Fil-A and Popeye's are spreading lies. I know this because our DFAC actually serves a better chicken sandwich than either of them, or anyone else for that matter.”
