Elbows Up, Except at the Chick-fil-A Drive-Thru

Elbows Up, Except at the Chick-fil-A Drive-Thru

American fast food chains are expanding into Canada faster than almost anyone expected, and Shane and Ryan dig into how far it's actually gone. Some of these brands are not just testing the waters, they are planning dozens of new locations across the country.

Ryan lays out a theory for why Canadians who talk about buying local still can't resist lining up for these chains the moment they arrive, built around years of hearing about them online before ever getting the chance to try them.

The conversation also turns to a few household names that most people would assume are American, but actually are not, which complicates the whole idea of what counts as buying Canadian in the first place.

Topics: American fast food Canada, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Shake Shack, Canadian identity
