Ted Giannoulas better known as The San Diego Chicken recently announced his retirement. The news even took me by surprise as he has been around as long as I could recalled. He has had a fantastic career of making people happy. What really is better than that.
The NY Times did a fantastic article on him, filled with some of the best photos I ever seen. I urge you to check it out.
