I would have assumed they’d pick Target for us, but I guess they went with Pillsbury.

I had no idea that Saks was based in Alabama; I figured it was New York. Maybe it moved?

Also, New Mexico: I have never heard of Allsup’s.

“Also, New Mexico: I have never heard of Allsup’s.”

Allsups is a chain of convenience stores who also happen to have the best fried burrito you will ever taste. Addictive. They’re all over New Mexico and west Texas....every small town there has an Allsup’s.

“I’ve never seen a Whataburger outside of Texas.”

They’re all over the South and Southwest from Georgia to Arizona.
