ATLANTA – Chick-fil-A is owning up to their mistake — but their apology is sweet.
Later this year, the popular restaurant will bring back its original barbecue sauce.
After several months of angry #BringBackTheBBQ Facebook posts and tweets, the restaurant posted a video on Tuesday revealing that their original sauce will return in November.
“When we introduced a new Smokehouse Barbeque Sauce in July, we thought we were serving up a bold new flavor you’d love. But your response was even bolder,” Chick-fil-A said in a press release. “Beginning mid-November, the original Barbeque Sauce will return to the Chick-fil-A menu at restaurants nationwide to replace Smokehouse Barbeque Sauce.”
The video, inspired by Jimmy Kimmel’s “mean tweets” videos, shows employees reading angry tweets from customers angry about the recipe change.
