Lee Brice Works The Drive Thru At South Carolina Bojangles

Here are a couple of things I know for sure about my friend, Lee Brice.  He loves country music.  He loves performing for his fans.  Lee Brice loves his native South Carolina.  And He LOVES his Clemson Tigers.  I guess Lee also loves him some Bojangles.  On Friday in Pendleton, South Carolina, patrons to a certain Bojangles location were treated to its favorite native country music son working the drive-thru.

Lee tells WSPA, “Not just Clemson but this Bojangles, it’s like I’ve spent so much time here.  This whole area, so it’s a part of my life so it’s really cool to bring the family back and that’s what’s important to me.”

Of course, this was a big weekend in Death Valley as Notre Dame came calling to take on the Tigers.  So you know Lee was going to be in town.  A former Tigers player, Brice went on to reflect on the person he was when he frequented this particular Bojangles.  He said he used to think about how one day all those people driving by were going to be listening to his music and wanting to see him play for them.

Mission accomplished.  Oh, and now those people have also had Lee Brice hand deliver their "Bo Biscuits" to them as well.

People have strong opinions about their fast food chains. Especially the more regional chains. But did you know that North Carolina was the birthplace of several fast food restaurants? I for sure have a clear favorite on this list. Though I also have strong opinions about some of the newer locations they've opened. My own personal "walk uphill both ways" bias.

Did your favorite North Carolina fast food chain main the list? Did we miss some? Let us know!

You can't convince me there is a better deal than a Cookout tray. The milkshakes, the "side" options, it's top notch. Cookout was founded in Greenboro in 1989 and now has more than 250 restaurants across the south.

Can you imagine life without cajun chicken, bo-berry biscuits, and those seasoned fries? I'm sure glad we don't have to. The first Bojangles was right here in Charlotte back in 1977.

I've never actually had Biscuitville (I'd rather sleep than go to breakfast oops) but the lines are always long so I'm sure it's delicious. Biscuitville's roots trace back to Burlington in 1966.

Known for their classic Thickburgers Hardee's is a staple in NC and across the country. The first Hardee's restaurant opened in Greenville, North Carolina, on September 3, 1960.

If you aren't from the Triangle you may not have tried CharGrill, but the next time you're in the area you absolutely should. They pride themselves on being the best burger in Raleigh. CharGrill has 10 locations in and around our state's capital city.

Known for their eastern NC BBQ Smithfield's has 40 locations along the coast and the Piedmont.

While some would argue it's not technically a fast food chain, Krispy Kreme had to make this list. Few things in life are better than a glazed donut while that Hot Now sign is on. The donut chain got its start in 1937 in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem.
