Cookout
AL, GA, KY, MD, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV
My Tray- Burger (Cheddar Style), Quesadilla, Nuggets and a
Coke Float
I like that you can get different options like an appetizer platter.
I chose the burger as my main item because burgers are more specialty for me.
It’s not something I would make at home. The cheddar style involves cheddar
cheese, grilled onions, mayo, and bacon. I love grilled or fried onions on a sandwich.
I picked nuggets and a chicken quesadilla for my sides because it adds to the
sample platter vibe that I really enjoy. There aren’t any sauces listed but
hopefully, there is something to dip the nuggets in. I picked the coke float
because that’s a fun but rare choice. There is one in my state but it’s about 3
hrs away which is really far to get some food. If I ever go to OCMD, then I
would. The ones in Virginia would also be a 3 hr drive.

What attracts me to this place the most is just the variety.
It’s not just meat, onions and salsa. All of these are just unique enough it
would be a bit too much work to make these on your own. I could see a lot of
these in a sandwich form as well but in a taco is way more interesting. All of
the locations would be a flight for me. Just way too far, even for a train
ride. I could see these doing well nationwide though. There are way more
options than what I mentioned. I would pick this over qudoba or moes easily.
Dat Dog
LA, TX
Crawfish dog with onion and chipotle mayo
Duck Dog with cheddar, mayo, onions
Polish kielbasa with cheddar, chipotle mayo, onion, bacon
I have never been to a restaurant that you can create your
own hot dog/ sausages combination. I tend not to order them out because there aren’t
many options and its cheaper to make at home. This place has way more specialty
sausages I just can’t buy anywhere. If I could get these with some char on
there I’d buy them regularly. I think it’s a really fun concept. They have
vegan ones too so more people can have this as well. You can get burgers and
chicken sandwiches which I would maybe try if this place was more local.
Zippy’s
HI
Zip Pac- A piece of fried chicken, breaded hoki fish, a
slice of Teri beef, and Spam® on a bed of rice topped with furikake and takuan.
Fried Noodles- Spam®, fish cake, and green onions.
I have never had Hawaiian food before so my choices have familiar
enough items that I enjoy but in a completely different format. My first pick
has enough variety of items to try that I either like already or most likely
would. I wonder if the rice is sushi style, I would love the sticky rice for
this. The second option has spam which I really like and fish cakes which I never
had but I like seafood so it should be good? I have never had any of these proteins
in fried noodles before but now I’m thinking I should look up some recipes for Hawaiian
cuisine. Now I’m wondering why there isn’t more Hawaiian food around, at least a
chain format.
Gusto
GA
Tzatziki lemon artichoke bowl- tzatziki sauce, lemon dressing,
couscous, kale, tomato salad. Protein choice: chicken. Base: greens. Fresh limeade
I really enjoy cava and mezze so this falls in line with
that. There are other “gusto” or flavor themes, this one just appealed to me
more and doesn’t have any of my personal allergens. Gusto is like cava but with
more preset options. It is really interesting the only meat options are chicken
and shrimp. A lot of more vegetarian options like avocados and mushrooms. There
are other base options as well but I really don’t care for brown rice. I would
rather go healthy in a different format.
