There's 65!
I'm in the process of tallying these so far. As you can imagine, it's not pleasant. Will have an update later on today.
I didn't count In-N-Out. I took away several (12+) of RH's list because it didn't fit the rules. You'll see when I poast the tallies later.
Surprised you didn't outsource that part to @Raising Heel.
We've already determined in the TV final that, because of the logic behind the votes, McDonald's is your winner, by default. You're wasting your time.
Because of the travesty that was the result of the OOTB TV Tournament (not @heelz2345's fault - excellent effort), I am rescinding all my nominations and declining participation.
Congratulations to the champion, McDonald's.

Cool is as salty as an order of McDonald's fries.
Okay we have trimmed it to a final 81. List is below. IMPORTANT: Re-read what you already nominated, then read the list below. Please nominate any others you wish from the list below that you have not done so already. This will not only help the seeds become clearer, but will also hopefully break up the deadlock of all the places with 2 votes, so we can successfully trim it down to 64.
Please do not nominate any new restaurants that do not appear in the list of 81 below. The time to nominate new ones is over. Simply poast ones you haven't yet. The nominations phase will end at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday night. At that point, I'll see these bad boys into regions.

Some very, very interesting seeds are in store for this tourney, I can already tell. WaHo could make a deep run as a lower seed. Meanwhile, BK is my pick to pull a "Duke" and crash out early, despite a good seed.

I'm not counting any of those unless you say they're all nominations.
I will update the list later on today to include @JuleZ '02 HEEL nominations. I'm slammed at work today and I'm fixin to spend my lunch break going to the GD dentist.
On a related note, I'm going to chick-fil-a soon.

Thanks for poasting this - I had no idea. Definitely grabbing that thing. I'll probably grab the new lemonade too, although watermelon mint sounds kind of weird.
I went today after the dentist. Will have to investigate this new sammich. Could be a gamechanger in the tourney.
Went to J-Mike's for another #56. I swear, for all of those who have never had a philly from J-Mike's, you need to grab one ASAP.
It's "The Lawrence Taylor"
I've never understood it either and stare at the menu every time to figure out some sort of pattern. I *think* they just number them weird to mess with people and joke that they have that many sandwiches. Kinda one of those "just to be strange" sorts of things.
I know a few of them are hidden off the menu (you can still order them), but not enough to reach 56. The #1 is a BLT and the #4 is a sub called The Number Four, but I can't remember what's on it. Just a couple of examples. Maybe there have been a lot of discontinued subs, and when one replaces it, they just add another number rather than replacing the existing. Who knows...
He gets it.
I'm telling you, @TarHeelNation11, once you try it, it will change you forever. Even when I'm more in the mood for a cold sub Mike's Way (plus cherry pepper relish and jalapenos, of course), I always at least think about ordering the kahuna. I know you said you weren't the biggest cheesesteak fan, but you need to try it.
I don't order cold subs much anymore. If I do I always get the pepper relish. That's a good ****ing call @coolwaterunc . You can put that shit on everything.
Also, there's no shame in the 'sub in a tub'. I'm a little chunky so I go for that sometimes and it's damn delicious.
The hell is that? You have a bad day so you eat your sub while soaking in the tub?
