Region: Empire of Andrew

Novo Wagondia wrote:Something of a random question, but what local/regional food chains do y'all appreciate the most about where you live? This question is always on my mind around this time of year, near when I'm planning to return home and re-acquaint myself with the finest parts of Texas cuisine.

Personally, I have always loved Chick-fil-A, despite their unfortunate politics from time to time. It's probably the most reliably excellent fast food chain in the south, and though it can (mostly) be found across the US now, it always reminds me of childhood and being home. Whataburger is, of course, another regional favorite, as is Raising Cane's. The Austin-San Antonio area in particular is home to the excellent Torchy's Tacos and Bill Miller Bar-B-Q, which Andrew might have run into in Houston.

This is a hard one.

Our best to go food is probably a fresh made sandwich from the Publix deli, specifically the chicken tender sub. Publix is a grocery store only found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Virginia. So the only people besides myself who know of it are probably Cybus and Fel.

Chick-Fil-A is always solid. Other good ones are Pollo Tropical (only found in Florida) and Checkers, if you go there get their fries.
