He just doesn't do it for me. I think just about everything is funny, but not him.
 
I don't know what to say to you people anymore. My mind cannot process what is happening. I like Waffle House, I really do, but over Zaxby's, guys???? I was starting to let the whole Looney Tunes fiasco go. I was just thinking you know, people dig old school cartoons, and maybe I just have to respect that. This is going too far. Maybe you guys really are just completely nuts. You have to be. I'm at a loss.
** whispers **

maybe it's you

Voting ends tonight a minute before midnight. Anyone who hasn't voted please do so. I will trim the length of time on the next round to four days to speed things up a tad and see how that goes.

I count 15 votes. Would love to get more.

So...................we have two games heading into overtime:

#8 Texas Roadhouse vs. #9 P.F. Chang's China Bistro

and

#6 Zaxby's vs. #11 Waffle House

Does anyone who hasn't voted want to submit a vote? (@UNC '92 @UNC71-00 @HeelFan58 etc.) If not, I'm going to have to break the tie somehow and I'd hate to have to do that.

I just got off the phone with @UNC '92 @UNC71-00 and @HeelFan58. They told me to let you know they are voting for Waffle House.

Oh alright....


#1 Wendy's vs. #16 MOD Pizza
Never have eaten at an MOD, but I have eaten at Wendy's. MOD in a landslide.


#8 Texas Roadhouse vs. #9 P.F. Chang's China Bistro
Texas Roadhouse steaks are horrible. At least I can find something to eat at PF Changs, although it will be overpriced for the quality you are getting.


#5 Pizza Hut vs. #12 Captain D's
I'm forced into Captain D's here.


#4 Chili's Grill & Bar vs. #13 Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews
Too many bad experiences with food at Chili's. They simply dgaf.


#6 Zaxby's vs. #11 Waffle House
Greasy breakfast at odd hours simply beats chicken every time.


#3 Cook Out
vs. #14 Qdoba Mexican Eats
This is another one of those where the only one of the two I've eaten at knocked themselves out.


#7 Domino's vs. #10 Dunkin' Donuts
Wtf?


#2 Five Guys Burgers and Fries vs. #15 On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina
Blow out here. I'm taking a Five Guys Burger and stabbing anyone who gets in my way.

I'll volunteer to change my PF Chang vote to Texas Toadhouse, if someone will change Waffle House to Zaxby's !
 
And we have our first-round winners! Listed below in bold.

The Phil Ford Region, Presented by Hennessy


#1 Wendy's vs. #16 MOD Pizza
- The arguable tourney favorite marches on easily in this one.

#8 Texas Roadhouse vs. #9 P.F. Chang's China Bistro
-- P.F. Chang's won in a nail-biter, back-and-forth affair.

#5 Pizza Hut vs. #12 Captain D's
Captain D's put up a good fight but Pizza Hut pulled away in the second half.

#4 Chili's Grill & Bar vs. #13 Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews
Chili's will probably be disappointed in their play, but they did enough to outlast the plucky #13 seed Red Robin.

#6 Zaxby's vs. #11 Waffle House
- This colossal matchup of underseeded powers did not disappoint. It was a barn burner throughout and both teams gave it their everything. Waffle House made a 21-foot 3-pointer with :01 left on the clock, and Zaxby's desperation full-court heave clanged off the rim as the horn sounded. Waffle House lives to fight another day in a game no one wanted to end.

#3 Cook Out
vs. #14 Qdoba Mexican Eats
- Ho-hum victory for the strong 3 seed in this one.

#7 Domino's
vs. #10 Dunkin' Donuts
- Domino's looks poised to possibly make some more noise in this tourney. Certainly a squad to keep your eye on.

#2 Five Guys Burgers and Fries vs. #15 On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina
- Bettors in Vegas are now scrambling to throw some money on Five Guys to go all the way after their dominant performance in the first round. A thorough dismantling of their inferior opponent.

#16 MOD Pizza-Wendy's pissed me off when they changed their frieds.

#9 P.F. Changs-Texas Roadhouse feels like they just throw stuff in an air fryer.

12 Captain D's-Love Captain D's.


#4 Chili's Grill & Bar-Mushroom Swiss burger is legit.


#6 Zaxby's-Everything about Zaxby's is great.

#14 Qdoba Mexican Eats-Cook out's patrons gross me out.


#10 Dunkin' Donuts-For the coffee.


#15 On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina-5 guys most overrated eatery ever.
 
Zaxbys.

Although Waffle House is excellent- really tough choice and it came down to the fact that I find myself in Waffle Houses far less often given that I find myself not at home after 1am (although 9pm works too) far less often

Sorry, didn't realize I was too late. I am a little embarrassed to be a part of a board that would vote WH over Zaxby's though. I mean, the food isn't that great. You are just drunk.

Congratulations. You have pulled off the rare triple fail. Failed by voting late, failed by voting wrong and failed with that post.
 
Yeah the voting was already over and we had a tie. I asked for somebody (thus I tagged '92, 71, and heelfan58) to jump in and break the tie and UNC '92 did so first, so I just went ahead and did the final count right then and there before cory and 71 jumped in.

So that was the tiebreaker for Waffle House and P.F. Chang's. Sorry guys. What's a tourney without a little controversy?

Haha Yea right. Being off on Fridays is pretty cool so I'll give you that.

Took my first Uber last night. Downloaded the app, linked my PayPal, and within less than a minute a driver was there to pick me up. $6 from Hoots to my house. Good to know.
Uber is a game-changer for sure. I would recommend Lyft since my ex is a Lyft driver, but.... fukk that. #TeamUber
