California man eats Chick-fil-A every day in attempt to break record, admits his wife is fed up
Survey: Chick-fil-A is once again teenagers’ favorite restaurant chain
Chick-fil-A is once again teenagers’ favorite restaurant chain. It is the chicken chains fourth time making the top of the list.
It’s unclear if there’s an “official” record for eating the most Chick-fil-A, but Mark Mendenhall is probably a contender.
Mendenhall, from San Diego, has been eating at Chick-fil-A every day (excluding Sundays) for the past several months, which has earned him the nickname “Mayor of Chick-fil-A” by the staff at his local restaurant.

Last week, it was also reported by KGTV that Mendenhall had set a new record for eating Chick-fil-A for the most consecutive days in a row — 114 as of Friday — although Chick-fil-A was not available to confirm if the restaurants keep official records for such a feat.
Mendenhall, a real estate agent, was reportedly persuaded to set a record after he became aware of a man in Georgia who ate at Chick-fil-A for 100 consecutive days (aside from Sundays, when the chain is closed).

«I thought to myself, I could do that! I could totally do that!» he told KGTV.
Now, nearly four months later, Mendenhall has broken the Georgia fan’s streak — and he’s raised some money for charity in the process: specifically, $1,000 for the Poway Unified School District Adopt-a-Family program.
Mendenhall’s wife, meanwhile, is not crazy about her husband’s hobby, and especially the time he disappeared from a family trip to Disneyland so he could go to a Chick-fil-A for lunch.
He has since promised to end his streak before another family vacation to Palm Springs. But don’t fret for Mendenhall — he’s had enough Chick-fil-A to last him a while.
«I have eaten everything on the menu, except the coffee and tea, I don’t like coffee or tea,” he told KGTV.
