ied with fulfilling tastiness ... from
the shredded chicken, kidney beans,
onions, etc.
The excellent homemade cookies
and brownies made by Carolann
Goode go over big.
Todd originally opened the
Intelligent Chicken at Crosswinds
Mall back in 1993 ... But later, when
the center underwent a mammoth
renovation, its management bought
out Intelligent Chicken's lease ... and
bulldozed the site for a new-look
revision.
While doing stock-market trading,
Todd came across former customers
who hoped he would re-open the
Intelligent Chicken ... which he did
after three years out of the restaurant
game ... The present spot, formerly a
Brothers Bagel location, is twice the
size of Todd's former place ... 2,300
square feet.
Todd makes all his own marinades
at the Intelligent Chicken locale ...
using all-natural ingredients .. And it
is the only restaurant in Michigan
allowed to carry and sell the popular
Mucky Duck mustard that is found
in specialty grocery stores.
Intelligent Chicken is open seven
days ... Monday-Friday, 11-8:30;
Saturday, 11-3; Sunday, 4-8:30 ... for
dine in, carry-out and delivery.
Lunch is big because of the good,
wholesome food that can be gotten
in express time ... Customers get
what they want at a counter and take
it to their booth or table.
Quick and nutritious dinners
without overeating have become
large favorites, too ... at the restau-
rant or with the fast delivery.
Intelligent Chicken has a lot going
for it ... and is a very good alterna-
tive to other fast food restaurants
whose swift meals are loaded with fat
and calories.
So that's what an Intelligent
Chicken also is ... One who gets peo-
ple to eat smarter ... and enjoy it.
