*UPDATED: BRACKETS HAVE BEEN SET* OOTB Chain Restaurants Tourney
- Thread starter TarHeelNation11
- Start date
Alright, so I just looked at some pictures of the food people have poasted online at some of the Charlotte locations, and the hot dogs are red as hell. Holy shit. I'm so incredibly happy right now.
Ouch!!!!!! I certainly hope she doesn't venture from the Raider board over here to see that comment.
To be fair, the cheeseburgers are still called Andy's cheeseburgers on the menu. The name of the restaurant changed, but not the name of the food. If I remember correctly, the reason for the name change had something to do with there being another Andy's restaurant outside of NC. It would be an issue once they started opening stores outside of NC.Stop it.
I don't see Andy's anywhere on there.
Well yeah, they can call their food anything they want, but if the name of the restaurant changed to Hwy 55, then it's f'ing Hwy 55.
Is this a nomination or a correction to JuleZ? I'll have to roll back through the thread and see if you've already nominated it.
I will NOT slow any rolls. Do what I say, or else this tournament gets an asterisk beside it just like the other ones did.
I know, but in the spirit of full disclosure I wanted to share that info. I still call it Andy's, but not everyone in the world knows it by the name Andy's. That's why I said Hwy 55/Andy's in my nomination post.
On behalf of toophly, it's a nomination.
It's Andy's. It'll always be Andy's. They didn't change a single other thing about the entire restaurant, and I refuse to use that other awful generic name they came up with just to avoid a little trademark scuffle.
I just can't believe cool of all people is buying into that new age bs.

You know a non-1 seed can win the tourney, right? I mean, damn, HWY 55 is already looking at possibly a 6-seed as it is.
You need to disclose where this game from.Just gonna leave this right here...
Seriously impresses me every time I eat one. Top 5 sandwich easy peasy.
I'm at Penn Station for a philly right now. Been a while since I've been here so I forgot what they were like. I totally forgot about this place.
They're from Cinncinnati I believe? I've only been there once but I remember they add pizza sauce to theirs? I got it with out. Thought that was weird as hell.
Yeah, I just went with onions and banana peppers. Never had banana peppers on a philly, so I thought I'd give them a shot.
And mustard right? They put brown mustard on theirs too I think. I enjoyed it.
I thought theirs came w brown mustard. Must be thinking about something else.
They'll put it on there but you can order it without just like the pizza sauce.
Eating this bad boy now, and it is DELICIOUS. Jersey Mike's has a contender when it comes to the philly game. I'm still giving the edge to J-Mike's because theirs is juicier, but this thing is close. The banana peppers add a nice tang to it. Basically what the jalapeños do for the big kabuna but without the heat. Excellent sandwich. They get bonus points for fresh cut fries and fresh squeezed lemonade. Should have nominated them.
I actually don't mind condiments. I enjoy the 56 exactly how it comes but I'll try different ways. I worked w a guy from Philly and he would always order a philly from this Italian joint. He'd have steak/cheese/grilled onions/grilled jalapeños/mayo/ketchup... he said that's how they eat up there. I tried it once and the mayo/ketchup was an experience. Not my every day philly but I did enjoy it.
The only exception I'll make for condiments is chipotle mayo or something like that. Chipotle sauce and steak go very well together.
A few sub shops up here do something similar and call it a "Steak Pizzaiola"... usually my go to if I'm doing a hot sub - but 9 times outta 10 I stick to an Italian. My favorite spot makes it with hots (peppers) and an olive tapenade which is top notch.
Somehow I missed two Bojangles votes. I have updated the list. Bojangles and Wendy's are tied for the overall #1 seed, but the Top 4 didn't change. It's still Wendy's, Bojangles, Chick-fil-A, and Firehouse. Updated listed is below. Voting closes in 29 minutes.

Time for nominations is over. I will seed these bad boys and get a bracket set-up. Anyone object to me using number of Twitter followers as a somewhat objective tie breaker?
For better seeds, I'll probably use a random number generator to distinguish them... like teams with 8 and 9 votes for instance. Just number them 1 - 9 or whatever and draw straws. For teams on the bubble, I'll use Twitter followers.

The only issue with using twitter is that it will give national chains a huge advantage over regional chains just because of name recognition.
