Here we are with eight exquisite Bryan-College Station restaurants, including the Dixie Chicken, left standing. We have 3 burger joints which also seem markedly different, 2 chicken spots, a BBQ counter, a late-night taco grill, and a fine dining steakhouse. Make your Flavorful Four predictions in the comments sections. You may as well pick your champion while you're there. We'll finish voting for the Exquisite Eight tomorrow and then pick up on Monday with the Final Four before Tuesday's Championship and Wednesday's coronation.

West/North Regions: Scrumptious 16 Results
Voting is optional for each matchup, so percentages may not equal 100%.
Exquisite Eight: South and East
The South Region has been perfect chalk to this point. Will top-seed Layne's be able to close things out against #2 Koppe Bridge? The East Region matchup is a doozy with a fast food burger chain facing a high-end local steakhouse. I'm not sure what to expect. Now that we're coming down to the wire, I wanted to check in with Twitter to see what people have to say about our finalists.
Layne's Chicken Fingers
@GBHunting show me someone who doesn't like Laynes and I'll show you a liar or a communist

@GBHunting my roommate worked there and always ranted about how shitty the food really was. He also brought home free laynes which rocked.

@GBHunting #Laynes is so good, and such a Cstat staple, I dunked my ring in a pitcher of their sauce.

@GBHunting eating it currently, best part of my day

. @GBHunting tastes like #ChristmasMorning. It's as if the secret ingredient in sauce is shorn unicorn horn & a sprinkle of angel tears.

@GBHunting I'll never live in a non-Whataburger state again.

@GBHunting love is a triple meat triple cheese whataburger with bacon and jalapeños feels good in the beginning hurts in the end

@GBHunting It’s pretty great #SpicyKetchup4Life
— Pod KATT (@valleyshook) April 30, 2015
@GBHunting 10/10 would eat again, it helps me cope with an aggie loss and makes a win even better.

The Republic
@GBHunting it was too expensive for me to go there so it must be good...
— Tanner Sherrill (@tanner_sherrill) April 30, 2015
@GBHunting If you want great steak, wine or whiskey or all 3 then go. The posole also rocks.

@GBHunting #TheRepublic is where I learned to drink bourbon whiskey. So, probably the most meaningful establishment in my life to date
— MMG (@marggibs) April 30, 2015
@GBHunting whiskey bar. #nuffsaid

@GBHunting I can do this at #TheRepublic and that makes it an American treasure. pic.twitter.com/J9MZ292rFy

Don't be mad if I didn't use your tweet. I picked mostly positive and recent stuff.
