ACC Restaurant Sponsors

[NashvilleOrange]

ACC has three unique food sponsors, which one is the best?

 

[HSPORANGE]

Cookout by a bit strictly for the milkshakes. Bojangles is so freaking greasy and mellow Mushroom is marginal pizza at best. Bojangles does serve breakfast all day but the chicken is straight grease.

Distance of nearest restaurant to the Carrier Dome, according to Google:

Bojangles: Reading, PA 225 miles
Cookout: Salisbury, MD 383 miles
Mellow Mushroom: Tom's River, NJ 302 miles

Heck, there is a Steak N' Shake in NYC that is closer than any of these...

 

[shandeezy7]

Never been to any of them. In fact, even in my travels (which I admit aren't extensive, but I've still been to MD, DC, VA, NC, SC, GA and FL), I've never seen one in person.

We've had worse bye week threads.



Right??...

This is an all time great question. And better than "Which job will Dino take?" threads.

Cook out is my favorite.

Cookout makes you feel terrible after you eat it but it's great drunk food!

Mellow Mushroom is okay. Nothing to write home about.

Bojangles isn't bad, but I'm picking Chick-Fil-A over Bojangles every time.

I live in Richmond. I picked Cook Out as it's the one of the three that I haven't had. Boberry biscuits are the only think I like from bos. Spending the first 30 years of my life in CNY I am a pizza snob. Mellow mushroom is very meh.

Never seen any of them in upstate ny. I would assume that Bojangles is like K--C just because of the name.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

I've never been to any of these chains, but I will say this, it makes my trips to Florida and the recent trip for the LSU game more interesting. It's like a find-the-ACC-sponsor scavenger hunt every time I head south of the Mason-Dixon Line now.

The Toms River,NJ Mellow Mushroom is only single digit miles from our house. They have a tasty meatball appetizer and their gluten free pizza crust is very good. Nice beer selection as well. We'll continue to go, even if the founders are GA Tech alums. It's all for the greater good of the ACC...

 

[Millhouse]

I laugh every game where I see these commercials because I've never seen or heard of any of these restaurants in my life other than from ACC commercials.

something is really broken with TV where advertisers pay money to advertise to people who would need to 3 layovers to come within 100 miles of their shartty fast food

 

[JackBauer44]

Mellow Mushroom is legit. I love their pizza.

Cookout = drunk food. Chicken tender plate with Cajun Fries was a must after a late night in Raleigh. Car lines were so long, you waited 15 to 20 minutes.

Bojangles is awful. Just my opinion.

What channel is the next game on?

 

[HSPORANGE]

Bojangles is similar to Popeyes or KFC but serve breakfast all day. People here in Raleigh and the south in general love it. The sweet tea (iced tea) is loaded with sugar and the chicken is good for an afternoon trip or three to the bathroom.

Mellow Mushroom would have a hard time surviving in the Northeast due to mediocre pizza with a high price. Just not that good.

 

[rocklloyd]

Is anyone buying cars from Carolina Ford dealers?

 

[CarolinaCuse]

Mellow Mushroom simply for the fact that they have nutritious beer.

 

[MiniCuse]

Bojangles (it's pronounced Bo-hahn-go-lays) chicken is great if you think you may need some help that industrial strength Metamucil can't handle. Their sweet tea is known to send yankees directly into a diabetic coma. The smoked sausage biscuit makes it worth hitting up for breakfast.
Mellow Mushroom shouldn't even be a blip on the radar of a pizza-loving New Yorker. It's not bad, it's not good, it's just there.
Cook Out has decent burgers with a fair assortment of toppings, kind of like a low rent Five Guys for the drunk crowd. Plus they have over forty milk shake flavors, so they have that going for them, which is nice.

 

[SURules]

I’ve never eaten at any of those places LOL.

Agree. It's not only meh but the price you pay for meh, you feel like you've been burned twice.

What do you mean? As a metro NYC resident I’m totally going to buy my next car from ACC sponsor Carolina Ford Dealers.

I ave eaten at Mellow Mushroom, although not as good as NY pizza, it is not that bad. Bojangles was just terrible worst chicken I have had, Popeyes and even KFC are much better. Cookout is unknown to me.

 

[retro44]

I voted for Mellow Mushroom just for the name...

 

[sutomcat]

I have 't eaten at any of them but watching the commercials on the awful ACC football and basketball broadcasts, I really dislike Mellow Mushroom for their lame advertising campaign. The ads for Bojangles are meh but not as irritating.

I associate MM and Bo with incompetent production and ignorant, poorly prepared Southern dolts. Not good for the.

I haven't seen any ads for Cookout, so they get my vote.

I really hope they replace the third rate directors and announcers ACC fans have to suffer through with Syracuse grads when the crap over the air ACC Network gets replaced with a real network.

It is amazing ACC fans have tolerated such low quality work for so long.

Bojangles isn't bad, but I'm picking Chick-Fil-A over Bojangles every time.

I live in Charlotte just like Jeremy and he is right on about Chick-Fil-A. I'm not a fast food type of eater but was always amazed how busy that place is and decided to try it. It is fantastic! Best fast food by far!
