I think that you are right.  It is clear from the news that the ad got a
lot of people to go there.   I'd also agree with your prediction.  It
would be interesting if the media reporters would follow up on that
aspect of it -- but they won't.  They did reports on the crowds that
showed up.  But by the time the net effect is known, the news cycle will
have moved on to something else.

There was a similar event 5+ years ago with Quizno's.  They spent a
bundle on a Superbowl ad touting their sandwiches and how they are made.
Sounded good, and so we gave them a try.  We were so disappointed with
the tiny portion of meat in the sandwich that we avoided them for the
next five years.  Now we have been back, and they actually have some
decent choices on their menu.

      Title: Ham And Cheese Chicken Rolls
 Categories: Poultry, Cheese
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      4    Boneless skinless chicken
           -breast halves
      4    Ham slices, extra lean
      4    Swiss cheese slices -- very
           -thin
    1/4 c  All-purpose flour
      1 ds Salt
    1/4 ts Black pepper -- fresh
           -ground
    1/4 ts Lemon pepper -- optional
    1/2 c  Soft bread crumbs
      1    Egg
  2 1/2 tb Canola oil -- or peanut
 
  1. Skin the chicken breasts and pound to 1/4 inch between sheets of
  waxed paper.

  2. Lay one slice of fully cooked thin ham on chicken, then one slice
  of very thin Swiss cheese. Roll up very carefully; secure with wet
  toothpicks or tie twine around tightly. Unwaxed dental floss makes a
  good tie.

  3. Mix the flour, pepper, salt and lemon-pepper (optional). Dust
  this over the chicken rolls lightly. Dip one at a time into the beaten
  egg. Roll in the bread crumbs.

  4. Heat the oil in a 9 or 10-inch heavy skillet with lid. Place the
  chicken rolls into hot oil, seam side down. SautO about 10 minutes,
  turning carefully once or twice.

  5. Add 2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth, cover immediately,
  and turn heat to simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from pan,
  let stand 3-4 minutes, then carefully remove the toothpicks or twine.
  Serve warm.
