And what the fuck?! Chick Fil A?! Holy shit I never knew. I would have guessed McDonalds.

Its weird that Chic Fil A is the most popular one in NY when ive never seen a single one, sign or advertisement. I live in upstate but ive been to many towns and cities between NYC and Burlington for a job I use to have. I always wanted to try one to since I always hear about it.

There's literally one CFA in the entire state of rhode island

Oklahoma is such a garbage state. There's literally nothing good I can think of.

It's a good restaurant and they have great service!

lol, I went there once. There was a museum, lots of Indian stuff, and a drive in movie theater.

Canes is not popular in California

A) this has been posted before

B) none of these are logos I'm even familiar with save for Mcdonalds, so by that alone it's obvious that this is a fake pic.

The most popular fast food chain would obviously the ones that have reached international fame and are wide spread, such as mcds, bk, even kfc and hardeez, much as I am loathe to admit it

Well, here's what the article says about that phenomenon, because I live in Texas and I've never been to an In-n-Out burger in my life. I'd have to look up the nearest one I don't even know where one is.

"For California and Texas, there are only a handful of locations for the respective chains. However, the people who visit those locations tend to visit a lot."

This is a bullshit article. McDonald's is the most popular by far. Some of these nobody has even heard of. The fuck is a Cane's.

No fuckin' way

I lived in Michigan most of my life and I dont remember seeing a single Chick Fil A. Not in the areas I lived in anyways.
---

Damn, maybe we got fake news'd.

This isn't real

Search "most popular fast food by state" in Goggle. A million news outlets reporting the very same map. The data from that research place has to be flawed.

This article, brought to you by Chick Fil A.

Yes, I'm saying this is fake.

It's not a fake report, all the news media is reporting the same story. I think the research place is the problem.

I doubt that. I am pretty sure there isn't even a Chick-fil-A in New Hampshire.

bullshit

The fuck is Cane's? Never seen one and never seen any advertising for it.

And Chick-Fil-A for Indiana? Exact same thing. Given, I've been gone from there since 2005, but still.

Weird.
---

LMFAO yeah, I'm sure the 6 Popeyes restaurants here in Hawaii are reporting record numbers. L&L is a local chain with literally over 4 times as many restaurants, and I can guarantee that it's more popular than Popeyes here. And hell, even without local favorites like L&L and Zippy's, there's still the obvious kings like McDonald's, Subway, Jack in the Box, etc.

But Rhoda Island is so small does it matter lol.

To determine the most popular fast-food chain in each state, Foursquare looked at which chains received the most visits on average per location in every state based on the total number of visits to each chain divided by the number of locations in that state.

Basically, if there's only a small handful of locations that are consequently very busy because of that fact (or even just because of small numbers + busy locations in general), it's gonna get ranked high.

Very flawed way of reading the data.

i can promise you singular mcdonalds get more visitors for breakfast than some Raising Cane's will get in a whole damn day. <_<

I rarely see any Chick-Fil-A in Indiana. I figured our most popular fast food would be Steak n Shake.

Raising Canes is shit food. The only thing on their menu is dry chicken tenders, fries, coleslaw and toast. That's it.

you shut your whore mouth that sauce is delicious

It's made from actual children!

I find this dubious at best.

Cane's is fantastic

This is one of the shittiest research projects I have ever witnessed. I hope this is an undergraduate research project and nobody actually paid for it.

Bizarre, I've lived in Texas for years and I've never even *seen* an In-n-Out, much less eaten at one.

For that matter, the last time I saw a Chick Fil A (never eaten at one of those either) was at a mall food court nearly a decade ago.
---

What the actual fuck at Chic-Fil-A being number 1 in all those states. I barely ever see them >_>

Also, it's truly a damn shame that Taco Bell isn't number 1 in any states

Pretty sure dats bs

Yeah, I'd probably call it more along the lines of like 'sublime burgers of the gods'.

I've never liked Steak n Shake. Never had a good or pleasant experience there.

That's a shame :\ If I'm ever in an area that has one I make it a point to go there. Are your crap experiences to do with the food or service or both (or something else)?

Honestly the guy probably surveyed rich individuals only and asked them what fast food place do they visit most often.

Yeah, that's a pretty shitty methodology. Obviously chains with only a few locations that are popular due to being a novelty and having less competition will dominate, which seems to be the case for Chick-fil-a in all these northern states (I think there's like 5 of them total in WI).

There's a lot of them in DFW

There's no way this is real. I've never even had Chick-Fil-A before and its hardly what people talk about in Kentucky.

I remember this poll and this topic and we already determined it is made up BS.
