do we think these are bona fide chik-fil-a sandwiches purchased saturday night, stored, & delivered sunday morning? or any other guesses (paid employee with a key will sneak in & make sandwiches sunday?)
i'm enjoying mschf's website, of course, including the graphics, assumption of risk including injury or death (helpful when you're serving day-old chicken w/o a food service license), waiver & release, & indemnifcation agreement. 
if chik-fil-a chose to sue, it has precedents for its complaint. restaurants have recently sued delivery sites for TM infringement/unfair competition for using their TMs & offering delivery w/o their permission & delivering food in unrepresentative quality/condition.
