The Paige family drove 45 minutes north from Oak Park just for a taste of Chick-fil-A. “I love Chick-fil-A,” says Kimberly Paige, a Georgia native who was raised on the franchise’s food. The Post caught up with the family of three on their first successful commute to the Oakland University location. James Paige, Kimberly’s husband, planned on surprising his wife with a secret trip to Chick-fil-A this past Sweetest Day, but the holiday fell on a Saturday, so the location was closed.This setback didn’t discourage the family from making the trip again for the hard-to-find chicken. “I’m a strip man, and the fries are delicious,”Mr. Paige insisted shortly after finishing his meal. Mrs. Paige said she prefers the nuggets, with a few honey mustard packets on the side to dip with.Before departing on the long drive back to Oak Park, Mr. Paige made sure to take a few extra Chick-fil-A sauces home with him in his coat pocket, assuring us that they’d “most definitely” be back to the restaurant soon.

For the love of nuggets
