Get caught up with the food scene in Montgomery County and adjacent Washington, DC, neighborhoods with Patch’s foodie news column, 1 Meat, 3 Sides. This week, free chicken takes center plate.

One meat:

A new Chick-fil-A restaurant opened in Rockville at 12001 Rockville Pike on Thursday, and the first 100 adults in line when the doors opened won a year's supply of free Chick-fil-A meals in the form of 52 coupons, each one for a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, medium-size waffle fries and medium drink. Fans from many states—including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee and Maryland—waited in line for more than 24 hours for the coupons. See what the line looked like on Rockville Patch.

Three sides:

Dessert:
