Don Ikeler, Director of Development - West Region for Chick-Fil-A, joins us on the Dirt Dog Pod. Don has spent the last 17 years working for Chick-Fil-A after spending the early years of his career with a couple other notable QSRs including McDonald's.

Don shares his wealth of experiences with us and gives us a glimpse under the hood of the chicken giant.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Don's early experiences with the brand before it became what we know it as today.
