Chicago Restaurants Fighting Chick Fil-A With Food

Local gay and gay-friendly restaurateurs didn’t waste time turning Chicago city government’s attacks on Chick Fil-A to the advantage of their cause. Art Smith (Table 52) will hold a fundraiser at his home on July 29; the $100 price will go to Equality Illinois. Get more information here. With talk show host Mike Huckabee declaring August 1 “Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day,” Hearty Restaurant plans “Chick Fil-Gay Appreciation Day,” serving up fried chicken sandwiches with a side of fries for $10; all proceeds will also go to Equality Illinois. Other restaurants reportedly planning fundraising specials include HB Home Bistro, Lady Gregory’s, Wilde, Chicago Diner and others. [Eater and elsewhere]
