New England is home to some of the greatest chains ever: Dunkin, Friendly's, and of course the 9's.

The real ones call it "the 9's" but I am referring to 99 Restaurants.

The 99s is home to some of the best comfort food. For me, I cannot go without getting their Golden Fever Wings - genuinely the best dressing/sauce on a wing that I have had.

But if there is anyone who knows more about 99's than I do, it is certainly Melissa Vieira, of Lowell, MA.

Vieira is a local school teacher who loves the 99s so much that she has visited every single location. And just a few weeks ago she finished her quest at her last 99s location: the 99s on Falmouth Road in the Barnstable village of Centerville.

Currently, there are only 97 99 Restaurants open; however, Vieira has dined at 100 locations, because when she started her mission there were 104 still open, according to a Boston 25 News article.

It took Vieira two and a half years to accomplish the mission, and she did so alongside family, friends, and coworkers.

Her favorite 99 go-tos are cheese and crackers, popcorn, French onion soup, and a glass of wine.

Being the amazing franchise that they are, her last stop in Centerville was decorated with balloons and swag for her to take home.

You gotta love the nines - if you know, you know.
