A Chick-fil-A menu adds a once unthinkable item

Chick-fil-A has built its brand around its famous chicken sandwich. Unlike many of its rivals, it does not have an expansive menu. The chain offers its iconic fried chicken sandwich, chicken nuggets, and grilled versions of those popular favorites along with side dishes, and salads. Chick-fil-A has shakes, cookies, and brownies — it even sells sausage on its breakfast menu and offers bacon as part of a 'club" variant on its famous chicken sandwich.Related: A McDonald's secret menu hack you need to know What the chain does not have, however, is beef. There's no hamburger on the menu and Chick-fil-A has actually made that part of its marketing. The company has made the image of cows holding signs reading "Eat More Chickin" famous, with the misspellings ostensibly being because cows aren't great at spelling, but do have decent handwriting. "In 1995, the phrase “Eat Mor Chikin” first appeared on a billboard in Atlanta, Ga. Painted by a pair of mischievous cows, the phrase kicked off one of the most recognized advertising campaigns in Chick-fil-A history," the company shared on its website. "Fast forward to today, the boisterous bovines are still at it – finding creative ways to encourage humans to put down their burgers and pick up chicken instead." Not eating burgers (and not selling them) has been the core of the Chick-fil-A brand since its founding in 1967. Now, the chain is testing hamburgers in order to potentially add them to its menu. Chick-fil-A is famously closed on Sunday. Image source: Shutterstock Chick-fil-A has built its success on chicken Chick-fil-A has always carried itself as being better than traditional fast food, sort of in a more playful version of how Chipotle has tried to stand out. An unspoken part of the "Eat Mor Chickin" advertising slogan is that the chain is above offering what you can get at any McDonald's (MCD) - Get Free Report, Burger King (QSR) - Get Free Report, or Wendy's (WEN) - Get Free Report. By making chicken its sole focus, Chick-fil-A has the sort of implied expertise that chains that have added chicken after-the-fact will never achieve. By adding a hamburger, the chain could become more competitive, especially with families where one member may not want chicken, but it also risks making its business less special. The company may have found a clever way to get around that and be able to sell burgers while not diluting the core Chick-fil-A brand. Chick-fil-A brand tests hamburgers and bone-in wings Chick-fil-A operates a virtual store in College Park, MD. Even though the company owns it, and it sells the chain's menu, it's technically not a Chick-fil-A. Instead, it's called Little Blue Menu (a nod to the chain's original menu) and it's selling hamburgers. "Now available in the Chick-fil-A App and online, through Little Blue Menu guests can order Chick-fil-A favorites alongside new, soon-to-be favorites like wings, burgers, and whatever we cook up next," the chain shared on its website. "Beyond the Chick-fil-A menu, Little Blue Menu offers a variety of items, ranging from smoked bone-in wings to no-fuss burgers, complemented by a selection of sides such as golden-brown onion rings, sweet potato tots and crispy brussels sprouts." The website for Little Blue Menu makes it clear that it's a sort of Chick-fil-A plus. It also really sells the burgers hard, calling them "the only thing we take seriously. No joke." The company goes further: "Because burgers are meant to be a serious business for us and for you. We don't compromise in flavor, and we believe that the finest burger is made with the right ingredients, from trusted vendors, by the people who just get it. The results: a simple but tasty burger that's hard to forget. No fluff, no fuss - just a burger speaking for itself," Chick-fil-A shared.

*Alaska Airlines pilot faces 83 counts of murder following bizarre incident*

On a commercial flight, a Level 4 threat is the worst kind you can face. It is defined as attempted or actual breech of the flight deck and officials said that's what happened onboard Alaska Flight 2059, when an off-duty pilot allegedly tried to shut down the engines mid-flight. DON'T MISS: Forget Ron DeSantis: Walt Disney has a much bigger problem The flight was diverted Sunday evening to Portland, Ore., after the off-duty pilot “unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines,” during a flight from Seattle Paine Field International Airport in Everett, Wash., to San Francisco, according to Alaska Air Group (ALK) - Get Free Report, the parent of both Horizon and Alaska Airlines.'Going a little bit overboard' Joseph D. Emerson, 44, was arrested without incident and charged with 83 counts of attempted murder, as well as charges of reckless endangerment and endangering an aircraft. Emerson was reportedly riding in the jump seat, which is located in the plane’s cockpit, just behind the captain and first office. Airline pilots routinely commute in jump seats either on their own airline or another. A spokeswoman for the Multnomah County, Ore., District Attorney’s office said Emerson might be arraigned as soon as Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported on Oct. 23, adding the office was working with federal authorities including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Horizon pilots told air-traffic controllers that the person had been subdued and put in the back of the plane, according to an audio recording of the communications. “We’ve got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit, and he doesn’t sound like he’s causing any issue in the back right now,” the pilot said in the recording. “It seems like he settled down after one moment of going a little bit overboard. We put him in the back,” a pilot said. Appears to be isolated The threat “escalated to a four,” one of the Horizon pilots said in the recording of the exchange with air-traffic control. The Federal Aviation Administration urged carriers and flight crews to remain vigilant in a security message, and said the incident was “not connected in any way, shape or form to current world events.” Federal officials said the case appeared to be an isolated incident and unrelated to terrorism. Kieran Ramsey, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Portland, said the bureau was investigating “and can assure the traveling public there is no continuing threat related to this incident.” Alaska Air Group said all passengers on board were able to travel on a later flight and were given vouchers to fly later. “We are grateful for the professional handling of the situation by the Horizon flight crew and appreciate our guests’ calm and patience throughout this event,” the airline said.Action Alerts PLUS offers expert portfolio guidance to help you make informed investing decisions.

*Bill Simmons gives an honest assessment about his time at ESPN*

Bill Simmons had a rollercoaster 14 years at ESPN, but it's been nearly a decade since leaving the network and he appears to look back fondly at his time there. Simmons spoke on the "SI Media" podcast with Jimmy Traina on Oct. 19 where he was asked about his time at ESPN, and The Ringer founder said he was "super proud" of his time there. "I was there for 14 years, and I feel like I elevated that place in just a slew of ways. I don't think that's bragging. I look back at the ESPN experience and I'm like, 'I f****** killed it for those guys. There's no question and that's it," Simmons said. He added that he believes that his time there was mutually beneficial for him and The Walt Disney Company (DIS) - Get Free Report sports network. "I don't have bad blood at ESPN. I look at that as: that place elevated me, and I elevated them," Simmons said.Related: Disney's plans for ESPN are becoming more clear Simmons, who is also the head of global sports content for Spotify, mentioned how he created several things for the network including the network's famous "30 for 30" documentary series and the now-defunct sports and culture website "Grantland." Despite the successes, Simmons also had a tumultuous time at ESPN including being suspended by the company twice from Twitter (as it was known at the time). The second time was the more notable moment because Simmons was suspended for criticizing the on-air incident between then-host Skip Bayless and NFL star Richard Sherman on "First Take." Simmons told Traina that he still believes he was "right" during that specific instance, and his actions were coming from a place that he thought would be beneficial for the company. But he's learned that news doesn't always travel in the way he intends. "The way it got aggregated was instruction to me. But I still feel like I was right," Simmons said. "I really genuinely cared about elevating [ESPN] and if you look at the stuff especially from '09 to 2015 that I did, I was trying to make that place great."Related: Stephen A. Smith and Bill Simmons Explain When It's Fair To Be Critical of Athletes Simmons also received a three-week suspension in 2014 for calling NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a "liar" on ESPN airwaves. Speaking with Traina, Simmons said he doesn't regret what he did, but he knows there could have been a better way to do it without stirring the same type of ruckus. "I don't regret what I said about Goodell," Simmons said. "We could have made like two small edits that would have made it just as impactful and not turn it into a me vs. ESPN story because I thought what I was saying about Goodell was really important. I also had all these Grantland people that I really cared about. And I think that was the piece that, from the minute it started going, that was what bothered me ... I was right about Goodell, but should I have gone as far as I should've? I don't know." Action Alerts PLUS offers expert portfolio guidance to help you make informed investing decisions. Sign up now.
