Brownsville, Texas—Chick-Fil-A is known for its signature cow mascot, but it fell short to a major league mascot featured on Friday. Ted Giannoulas, also known as “the Famous Chicken,” gave out autographs and performed for Chick-Fil-A customers at the N. Expressway 77/83 location Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
“He may have felt like he was in danger (at a chicken restaurant), but it just added to the fun,” said Chick-Fil-A owner Joe Magdaleno.
The Chicken serves as the mascot for Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres.
Two nights ago, Giannoulaus gave a half-time performance during the Rio Grance Valley WhiteWings baseball game in Harlingen.
“We wanted to promote baseball in Brownsville because of the new minor league team we are getting next season,” Magdaleno said.
The Chicken is heading to Edinburg today for the Edinburg Coyotes game against the Laredo Broncos.
