q. what exactly is a foosackly?
a. glad you asked. the word “foosackly” has become synonymous with amazing chicken fingers. (i know that’s not what you meant but give me some space for a shameless plug here) websters hasn’t added it to their fine publication (space for some buttering up) but we expect it any day now. until then, let me give you some history. this fine word was made up by a friend of will’s, because his last name is fusaiotti. his friends call him a lot of names, some worse than that, and after weeks of lame attempts at a name for “this chicken finger restaurant thing we’re doing,” we decided on foosackly’s. hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

q. who makes y’all’s sauces?
a. eric, bob, vince, greg, ed, drew and a few other trusted foosackly’s employees whip up these magic concoctions (foosackly’s, honey mustard and ranch) at each location. i know they taste fresh and homemade, because they are.

q. what about the bbq sauce?
a. you had to ask didn’t you? we don’t make it but we take the time to pour it into those special little cups by hand. we think that makes it taste better. plus it’s really good bbq sauce, so stop trying to make us feel bad. not to mention the fact that anyone can do bbq sauce but only the lucky population of south alabama is lucky enough to have the foo sauce. did we mention you can’t fake the foo?

q. is foosackly’s a franchise?

q. why don’t you have grilled chicken?
a. foosackly’s strives to deliver the freshest and best-tasting chicken finger meals in an efficient manner. we currently don’t have the capacity to serve fresh-grilled chicken meal without interfering with our core product. in other words, we’re good at fried fingers. stick with what you’re good at. i think someone famous said that...?

q. would you like to buy an ad in our yearbook?
