I made another word ladder: USA Chain Restaurants.
This one was pretty tough for me, a San Franciscan who doesn't make it out to other parts of the country these days. I look at _A_BY'S and don't know what letters to put in the blanks. Apparently there's a chain called Zaxby's that covers a lot of the USA, but not San Francisco. I asked Google maps for the nearest Zaxby's and it told me to drive 750 miles to Utah. I won't cross the desert to Deseret for dessert. Anyhow, thank you and enjoy your word ladder.
