I have always encouraged my restaurant operators and team members to give back to the local community.

If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed to be in some other line of work.

Nearly every moment of every day, we have the opportunity to give something to someone else - our time, our love, our resources.

We should be about more than just selling chicken: we should be a part of our customers' lives and the communities in which we serve.

We don't expect every operator to be Christian, but we tell them we do expect them to operate on Christian principles.

I'd be resentful if shareholders who don't know the business tried to tell me what to do.
