Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Arelliano Buendilla was to remember

that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

So reads the opening line of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's classic, 100 years of solitude.

Colonel Buendilla certainly could never have predicted a world where ice was so plentiful,

it was dispensed free of charge for machines at every quick service eatery in the country,

but such as our reality in 2017 America and 100 episodes into this humble podcast, we

witness sea changes in the world of chains.

The release and retraction of Taco Bell's naked chicken Chilupa, the westward expansion

of Midwest and southern Staples steak and shake and cracker barrel, and the shuttering

of much-maligned regional franchise caros.

What will the world of chain restaurants look like 100 episodes from now if we even survive

until then?

This week on Doe Boys are 100th episode.

Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants for a production of FarralAudio.com.

I'm Nick Wiger alongside my co-host, the Sultan of Sweat, the Spoon Man Mike Mitchell,

Mitch Howie.

I'm not bad of an insult.

It's kind of fun.

A very happy 100th.

Howdy ho!

It's a spoo-nation.

And guess what, Nick?
