Chick-fil-a Founder Offers Reward for Kurca

S. Truett Cathy, who built Chick-fil-a from a single location in an Atlanta strip mall into a national chain of over 1,300 restaurants has issued a giant challenge. In a news release issued earlier this week, Cathy pledged a reward of $100,000 to anyone who could end the Kurca's reign of terror across the United States.

Reached by phone in his Atlanta home, Cathy describes his motives for capturing the giant chicken as two-fold. 'It's high time we stop this darned bird from scaring people,' said Cathy. 'Plus, it's played heck with the chicken business. People are afraid to eat it because they don't want to get the you know what kicked out of 'em.'

While Cathy would not say what his plans for the chicken were if it is captured, those close to him said he is seriously considering frying up the bird as part of a charity chicken dinner. "He commented the other day that he wondered what that bird would taste like," said the son of S. Truett Cathy and President of Chick-fil-a, Dan Cathy. "He joked about digging up some giant potatoes to go with it."
