    Any time I head to the western part of the state for work, I make a Bodo's stop for breakfast. It's awesome. Fast service. Great sandwich.

    I was partial to Macados in college as a regional chain, but it depends on the location. Blacksburg and Lexington fine. Lynchburg's is white trash central.

    Taco Tico > Taco John's
    Potato Ole's > everything else
    Those little fried potato bastards are like crack.

    Gates and Sons Bar-B-Q has six restaurants spanning two states.

    (But they're all in the Kansas City area, so it probably doesn't qualify as regional.)

  5. Gates is also about the worst BBQ that Kansas City has to offer.

    How this is the first mention of In-N-Out is beyond me. But In-N-Out.

    I'm thinking Macados has to be in a dedicated college town. Lynchburg has colleges, but it's not a college town.

    I've been to Macados in Blacksburg and Salem, both were pretty good. For some reason I've never been to the ones that are actually closest to me.
     
  9. I love Macados.
    In college, the one in Bluefield was a Monday night tradition.
    I crave Bobaggers and Brooklyn Bridges. The nachos grande was primo.

    Family ate at the one in Beckley over Labor Day Weekend.

    Great food. Shit service.

    When in Missouri, go here. And stay the hell away from Imo's Pizza.

    Well, the reverse order could encourage teenage drivers to do bad things.

    Did you marry a waitress? If so, that explains something...
