The West Coast is home to a few of the most notable region-specific restaurant chains in the country.
From In-N-Out Burger's signature Thousand Island sauce to Eggslut's far-from-forgettable name and aesthetic, these franchises have made a name for themselves nationwide.
Outside of the burger realm, chains like Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles and Din Tai Fung deserve to expand into other parts of the country.

The West Coast has plenty of beautiful sights and notable landmarks, and it also has some tasty food.

Some of its chain restaurants are so good that no distance can come between the food and those who love it. But for many, getting a bite of the West Coast's best is still just a dream.

Here are some West Coast chains we wish would be available in more places around the globe.

Editor's Note: Some of these chains have a few locations outside of the West Coast, but since they're based in the West Coast and primarily serve that region of the US, they're included on this list.
