OOTB Chain Restaurants Tourney: John Bunting Region, Sweet 16

[Raising Heel]

Alright, folks. Let's move this thing to the speed round. I'm going to poast all four regions' Sweet 16 matchups at the same time since there are only a total of eight picks to make. The deadline for voting will be 11:59 pm on Wednesday, with the next round's deadline set for 11:59 pm on Friday. That way we'll be down to the Final Four by the weekend. And away we go....

I feel I must die on this hill (but don't mind if Outback wins)

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Hardee's v. Mellow Mushroom should have been the title game for the whole tourney.

Realized today that I'm on the road all day tomorrow. I'm going to indulge in a little premature tabulation so we can get the next round's matchups poasted.

#4 Hardee's (4) vs. #8 Mellow Mushroom (13)
Another convincing win by the dark horse pizza establishment means that Chick-fil-A is the only drive-thru remaining in the tournament.

#6 Outback Steakhouse (11) vs. #7 The Cheesecake Factory (6)
Even steamed veggies and 30+ delicious flavors of cheesecake couldn't help The Cheesecake Factory. The Aussies march on to the regional final.
