Can't believe Taco John's took out Wendy's. Probably wouldn't of made a difference though.

 

[AgronAlum]

This is gonna be the most lopsided championship round of these tourneys by a long shot.

 

[Cyched]

Culver’s can butter my burger any day

Yeah, don't see how a burger and fries place doesn't win this thing

 

[demoncore1031]

Nice run by Taco John's but I kinda had a feeling, even before the tournament started, that Culver's would win it all.

 

[harimad]

Can't believe Taco John's took out Wendy's. Probably wouldn't have made a difference though.

I can’t believe it’s losing to a ******* butter burger. Culver’s is so mid. Not Five Guys. Not Portillo’s. Culver’s. Oh well, TJs don’t be sad that it’s over. Celebrate that it happened at all.

I’m visiting my parents again soon for a week. I think I’m going to fast to prep for a week of potato oles and crispy tacos. And Whitey’s ice cream. Can’t wait.

I wish there was a Taco John’s close to me.

 

[JEFF420]

I wish there was a Taco John’s close to me.

caught one in wyoming last year.

 

[enisthemenace]

This is why I could never vote for Culver’s:

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

On way to weird Al concert I stopped in Hardee's. Had burger and fries solid.

Today I tried the champion Culver's. Again burger and fries. It was okay but burger I had at Hardee's yesterday and few weeks back at DQ were better than burger I had at Culver's.

 

[Cy4All]

This is why I could never vote for Culver’s:

Fair, but in fairness to Culver's they are a Wisconsin company. I'm sure we would be happy to get a patch sponsorship from Casey's.

How was the concert? I always wanted to see a Weird Al show.

Interesting results given that Wendy’s is closing stores all over the country.

And Jersey Mikes has replaced Chick Fil A as the USA’s top rated fast food restaurant.
