Wendy's currently the #1 overall seed. I love it. Their burgers are every bit as good as Five Guys, IMO.
It is a strong, strong 1-line. The 2/3 lines feature a couple surprises IMO (Olive Garden and Jimmy Johns).
My early pick for an upset: If Dickey's BBQ can sneak into a 14 seed rather than a 15 or 16, it could win its first-round matchup, depending on who it gets paired with.
For tiebreakers of "teams" that aren't on the bubble, I think I might just either randomly select.seeds based on a random number generator. Or I could seed based on each team's number of Twitter followers. Thoughts?
For teams on the bubble, I may make some executive decisions. For instance, Starbucks probably isn't going to make the tourney. But either way, as it stands, I would only have to make 6 cuts, which is nice.
Also, what in the world is a HWY 55 / Andy's?

Excuse me for not driving to one of three GA locations:
- Jesup
- Waycross
- Kingsland
Those are all as far away from me as you can possibly get and still be in the same state. Literally.
Sounds like a you problem and not a board problem. You should go if you are ever around one. They use bright leaf hot dogs (or at least I assume they do in GA as well), so you would get a chance to taste the best hot dog ever made.
ETA: There is one in Hillsborough and several in/around Charlotte. Stop at one on your way to a football game.
Don't insult me. I've had many a bright leaf in my day.
List has been updated. You can find it here https://northcarolina.forums.rivals...-restaurants-tourney.53702/page-4#post-867377
Or above on this page.
My bad. I know there are a few posters on here who have never had them. Given your horrible hot dog cooking methods I just assumed you were one of them. Just stop at one on your way to a football game. You will have to try a hot dog, cheeseburger and cheesesteak. I would tag RH and tell him to take you, but he put me on ignore.
This tourney is already encouraging me to try new places and go back to places I don't get to very often.
Just had Dickey's BBQ for the first time in awhile. Damn, damn good food for a chain place. I am pleasantly full and ready to nap at my desk.

Woah woah woah, hold on a minute. You're saying Hwy 55 uses f'ing Bright Leaf hot dogs????????? Jesus, why has nobody ever told me this before????? I hope to God the ones in Charlotte use them because I'm gonna order about 20 of them next time I'm there.
Last time I ate there they were. It's been a few years so they may have changed it up. Also, I'm not sure if they definitely did that at every location. You don't really find bright leaf outside of eastern NC, so I'm not 100% sure they would pay for the expense of shipping it outside of the area.
By the way, Bright Leaf hot dogs means automatic #1 seed. Move Hwy 55 up the list, @TarHeelNation11.
Their warehouse is in Mount Olive so I would be surprised if they didn't.
That was my biggest fear. There are no Bright Leaf hot dogs to be found in Charlotte, so I was hoping I would get my chance. I'm still gonna try.
In the spirit of honesty I must tell you men that the owner Kenny Moore, is a Dook supporter. His son Andy went to Dook and he runs ads during their sporting events, at least he use to.
I don't really care what kind of hot dogs they are, they're maybe fifth on the list of things I want to order at Andy's. (P.S. I can't believe you actually called it Hwy 55; that mess is stupid. It's Andy's.)
1. Cheeseburger
2. Cheesesteak
3. Shrimpburger
4. Milkshake
5. Hot dog
I mean, it is the name of the restaurant and everything so....
If they knew you microwaved hot dogs they wouldn't claim you.
Just goes to show you that no one is 100% evil.
They are #1 on my list since bright leaf is unavailable to me down here. There is one a few miles from where my wife's family lives so anytime we go back I always eat there at least twice since I don't get the chance that often.
I actually went to college soooo they'd still claim me
If that makes you feel better, even though that is like a participation trophy.I actually went to college soooo they'd still claim me
