Chick-fil-A's food is not only awesome, they are awesome. This weekend during the Alabama vs. Georgia game, they will be opening a pop-up called “Rivalry Restaurant” on the border of both Alabama and Georgia passing out free food. Yup. Per Eater...

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A operates most of its locations in the heart of college football country, so of course the chain is opening a one-day-only pop-up in honor of one of the sport’s biggest games. Auburn University and the University of Georgia meet this Saturday for the 121st playing of the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.” The self-proclaimed chicken sandwich inventor plans to serve free food to fans of the two schools.
UGA is located in Athens, Georgia, and Auburn is about 175 miles to the southwest in Auburn, Alabama. Chick-fil-A is planting its pop-up between the universities “on the Georgia-Alabama border,” according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell. A representative for the chain tells Eater it will take up residence at 400 Third Avenue in West Point, Georgia. That address does indeed appear to be just a few steps from the state line.
The “Rivalry Restaurant,” as it’s being called, will be split in half, with one side decorated in Auburn’s orange and blue and the other covered with Georgia’s red and black. In addition to the free food, fans will find face-painting, customized mini-Chick-fil-A cows, and televisions showing the matchup. The party will take place on top of a makeshift football field, perfect for over-zealous fans to work out some aggression with pick-up games.
