One of my favorite days of the year is finally here, Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A. It's one day out of the year where you dress like a cow to get free chicken so you can eat like a pig! :)
I've heard about the event for a few years but felt weird coming in to ask for free food, so never did it. But after such a fun and easy first experience 2 years ago, we kept coming back. Many of our friends even joined in. It's a family friendly event and many come in large groups.
All you have to do is dress like a cow, go to the counter and choose your free entree. The staff is extremely friendly, everyone at the restaurant is there for the same reason (so it's not weird at all), and they accept anything remotely cow looking, no questions asked. Chick-fil-A even has a kit you can print on their website. Or draw some black dots on your white t-shirt and you are set. As you can see our costume was very basic!
It was you've never done it before, here's a quick guide.

How many can I get?
You can go through the line once, but hey if you're up for it, you can visit as many restaurants as you want!
The restaurant is more crowded than usual but it's fast food so the wait is not long. Be sure to be there at the counter by 7 p.m. The cut off time is strict.
This year is extra special for us because we got a new friend to join us on our foodie adventure (also the reason for the brief blog hiatus!)
