I am wondering if the BBQ chain restaurants are a regional thing.
I don’t think the west coast has them or maybe better said has them any more.
The only ones that that I can remember that might have been a chain are Loves BBQ in Walnut Creek in the early 80’s.
I don’t know if they were a chain but they sure looked like it with their appearance.
The other one would be Everet & Jones. I think they had one near Candlestick and one in Oakland 30 some odd years ago.
As far as SoCal and the PNW goes I’ve spent lots of time there over the years with a good per diem and haven’t come across any BBQ chains.
I’ve looked for restaurants a whole lot in the west and haven’t seen any BBQ chains.
Now I have seen some that I believe are chains in the Mid West and other areas of the country.
