    Alright. Here's my situation:

    I've been able to locate 32 large fast food chains in the houston area.

    Now, I have some options, and, what else? I'm going to let y'all vote on it.

    The options are:

    1) 32 is enough. We can go with them.

    2) Have each restaurant put two menu items up for best "fast food" item.

    3) Find 32 local Houston fast food eateries, like Otto's, and Chacho's and Lankford Grocerie

    4) Go National. Find 32 other eateries that are available nationwide, like in-n-out and White Castle.

    Y'all figure it out, or give me some suggestions.

    I like either #1 or #4 - probably more #4, since I am not local to Houston. But either one of those, I think, would work the best.

    FFB -- I started to come up with a bracket the other day when we were talking about the Sonic burger. Mine was of fast food items that weren't regional. For instance, the Big Mac was a #1 seed, Jumbo Jack was a lower seed, etc. If you want, I'll post it for you.

    go for it. It might change people's ideas of whether they want restaurants, or items.

    2 items per. Lots of places have more than 1 good thing, of course.

    PLEASE FATTY, include Whataburger's taquitos!!!
    I will have no choice but to be a troll in this thread if they are left out.:)

    Ok, I'm going with the poll. We'll just do 32.

    Rockets#1: It'd be waayy too difficult to put the breakfast items up for these places. There are just way too few that serve breakfast.

    The seedings will be done based upon revenue. It's the only way I can dictate a fair seeding without my own bias.

    I do predict all of the #1 seeds will be gone immediately.

    Okay that sounds good, but I'd think Whataburger's Taquitos would be one of their highest generating items. Even if not, Whataburger doesn't necessarily need to have two dinner items. Alright, that's the last time I'll mention it. Have you had their Taquitos in the middle of the night, though? Tons of people could back me up on their goodness.

    Grasshopper, you have much to learn.

    Next time, try a Whataburger Potato and Sausage and Jalepeno and Cheese Taquito. They'll do it, and it is heaven at 3:00 a.m.

    I don't think you should have an even number of items from each restaurant. Just like the ACC has 6 or 7 teams in the tourney each year and Ivy League only has one, there are strong fast food chains with many great items (Taco Bell) and chains with only one or two good items.

    How about a play in game. The McDLT vs. The Frito Burrito

    Ohhh...my....God. Okay no, that wasn't Jason Alexander. The video was all blurry; they musta superimposed his voice on there and gotten a dancer with the same body type. The hair is a dead giveaway. I mean, c'mon, everyone knows Costanza never had hair!
