As opposed to the guy that thinks crock pot pulled pork is the real deal or qt hot dogs are the truth? I'm secure in the truth that my pallet for q is of a much higher standard than your's.

I decided to stop by Jimmy John's tonight for one more try. I've only ever had one of their subs, and it's whatever they call their club. It's decent, but nothing to look forward to. I went with their standard Italian (the Vito with hot peppers) since they say you can really judge a sub place by how good their Italian is. It sucked. Bone effing dry. I'm one of those who believes it's a sin to put mayo on an Italian sub, but you almost have to on this one since it's soooo dry. It wasn't the worst sandwich I've ever had, but it was a major disappointment. I think I prefer Subway. The peppers were good though, so there's that. Jimmy John's and Dickey's should switch seed numbers.
On the basis of the arguments presented in this thread, I will officially change my vote from JJ's to Dickey's BBQ Pit. (And I will try to eat at one sometime.)
Closest one to you is Southern Pines so not exactly close lol. You're spoiled though being close to the famous Eastern cue places.
In all seriousness, check out Melvin's next time you're in the Charleston area. You won't be disappointed.
Actually there are three in the Raleigh area and one in Wilmington, so I could get to one pretty easily if I want. The problem is, you're right, I'm probably not going to go to those places to eat barbecue. I would like to try the brisket.

#1 Chick-fil-A
Easy day.
#8 Dairy Queen
TGIF, Fuddruckers, Applebees, Red Robin, is there any actual difference between any of these places? The Blizzard alone, overpriced as it is, earns DQ the nod.
#5 Buffalo Wild Wings
Even easier day. Sonic gets blasted by a Buzz Bomber, loses all his rings, and never recovers.
#4 Burger King
Add O'Charleys to the list above. Get back to me when you have some kind of identity.
#11 Moe's
+1 for Welcome to Moe's and the paintings of musician impersonators. Love the quesadillas and burritos.
#14 Baskin-Robbins
31+ flavors of kicking Olive Gardens' ass.
#7 Papa John's
This is the dregs of this region. Vastly inferior to Domino's but if somebody else orders it I'll eat it. Should slide by thanks to drawing IHOP as its opponent.
#2 Jimmy John's
I ate at Dickey's once. I wasn't that impressed. Then it closed.
Easy day.

Don't like this bracket. Very few here I like but went with what I despise more than the other.

Dairy Queen
Sonic Drive-In (BWW's sucks out loud)
Burger King (going with 70's quality)

Voting ends tonight at 11:59. We are sitting at 17 votes so I'm kinda tempted to close things right now since we're at an odd number. Plus 17 is exactly what we've been averaging each round. Thoughts?
For now, voting is still open though.

Agreed. This is one tie I'm breaking as tourney proctor if no one else votes by midnight.
If no one breaks the tie, I'll be forced to take action. And action I shall take.
Plus, if you had ever eaten at Dickey's, you'd have voted for them instead of JJ, fam.
Not necessarily. I like BBQ. Hell im 20-25 from the Honeymonk and I've only eaten there once in like 2 years. I never really crave it.
Oh well. It's your tournament I'm jus voting in it.
I just "liked" my own poast, even though I don't agree with it.
He didn't, really. Read the above coolwater poasts closely, looking at the handle and poast count.

Every damn time I see it. Every. Time.
G7 would have a field day with the #shenanigans going on with the committee in this one.
No. I have been nonstop busy since 7:45 at work and I'm still here. I'll update it tonight.
Dickey's wins the tiebreaker over JJs though. Don't at me.
Apparently the Dickey's that was up the road from my house has gone out of business. Interesting.
No you won't.
