Best "local chains" thread. pic related

I wouldn't consider Bojangles to be a "local chain", I'd consider it to be a "regional chain".

That being said, their cajun biscuits are amazing.

this>>12753411 a local chain is something that has several stores, but is really only located in your immediate area, usually relegated to a couple cities in a single state, MAX, like Zorbaz pizza in minnesota, THATS a local chain
but bojangles is like marcos pizza, or in n out, or whataburger, or burgerville, or taco del mar, or taco time, theyre not really local, they are plentiful and exist in a lot of places, just not nationally

Peculiar to the the East Bay in Cali are two competing Hot Dog chains that split apart sometime in the 50's with one side adopting the same name with a slightly different spelling.
The dogs are good with a snappy natural casing and are steamed.
I also recommend the tamale it's a 50's style saucy, goopy, mess, that is also steamed & has no resemblence to an actual tamale.
