The minute one of these of Best of lists drops, I’m instantly suspicious. I always question the validity of how the winners were chosen. Yet, this Best Regional Fast Food Chains list caught my eye. Recently, USA Today has been pumping out a bunch of these types of lists with everything from Best Supermarket to…
Metro Diner exploded into the comfort food stratosphere after Guy Fieri visited their original Jacksonville spot in 2010. Their first restaurant had opened in 1992, so it’s not like they were an overnight success. After the popularity boost, Metro Diner expanded to more than 10 states and over 50 locations.

The last time Arbetter’s, Pastelito Papi, and I partnered up, it was a madhouse. We’ve decided to give it another go, but this time in BEAST Box form, and we’ve roped in our friends from Johnnie’s Pit BBQ and Night Owl Cookies! Everything already comes cooked, so the face stuffing can begin as soon as…
If you follow my exploits on Social Media (Facebook, Instagram & Twitter), I’m pretty sure you’re well aware of my fascination with chicken tenders.
