Zaxby’s even retweeted some saying their sandwich was the best which was definitely a more subtle diss.
The Zaxbys chicken sandwich is underrated tho

More news
Taco Bell broke the internet when they unveiled their resort complete with poolside tacos and Baja Blast.
The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort was a 4-day-only pop-up resort in Palm Springs, California.
Rooms for the experience sold out almost immediately and apparently, those who got to go saw some interesting things, including a Taco Bell-themed hair salon.
At the salon, you could get braids, manicures and fades that all fit into the chain restaurant’s theme. You can see some of the services offered there below.
