One of the perks of living in Title Town in West Alabama (other than football bragging rights) is the incredible non-chain restaurants we have. I’m talking about amazing food. My family and friends mainly visit to check out the dining.

I have often wondered what if “such and such” restaurant was franchised. Would it “hit” as it does in Alabama? I mean, the way northerners freak out over Waffle House when they get to the south. I believe our local restaurants would do quite well.

Let’s face it, food from the south gives you a sense of home and comfort. I think that love should be spread nationwide. I know it’s a dream. It takes lots of work and resources to the franchise. Here are the restaurants that I believe would do well across the United States.
