Citation needed desu.

As a citizen of Vermont and former citizen of New Hampshire I can say neither of those are accurate. I didn't even know there was a Wendy's still in Vermont until I searched online.

>>9573391
Texas confirmed cucks, I assumed it would be muh whataburger

What is the point of this thread? To shill chik-fil-a?

>>9573400
In the article it's very clear. It's the number of visits to each restaurant divided by the number of locations.
I live in MA, very few Chik Fil A locations but the ones that exist are always super popular.

>>9573391
arizona how? always takes at least 20 goddamned minutes to get through the drive through at in-n-out, but Chic-Fil-A has absolutely no one all day everyday (save for when the Mormons get out of whatever fucking activity they did that day)

>>9573391
>In-N-Out
REEEEEE
CALIFORNIANS GET OUT OF MY STATE

>>9573409
>divided by the number of locations
why

>Raising Cane's more popular than In-n-Out in California
>In-n-Out more popular than Raising Cane's in Texas

Pretty sure this map is all hecked up.

>>9573409
I dunno. I have found larger lines at Ninety Nine, Olive Garden, Al's French Fries and Panera than Wendy's here. In fact, the one I visited just to try was pretty run down.

>>9573409
>divided by the number of locations.
That's probably the reason. There's no fucking chick-fil-as anywhere, whereas you can throw a stone in New York and ricochet it off a few McDonalds.

I have never seen a Cane's in California

>>9573421
Wendy's is like most fast food places though, only good for the chicken nuggets and literally nothing else.

>>9573415
Because that way you can actually see which restaurants are the most popular, rather than just most prevalent.

>>9573391
>Foursquare
people use that shit?

>>9573436
Stupid method of judgement. If they're more popular, of course they're gonna be more prevalent and thus reduce visits per shop. Should have just counted up number of orders/visits instead.

>>9573426
But that means that more people come into a Chik Fil A in MA in one day than to any single McDonald's.
It's a fair way to balance it.
Of course that way the less-popular McDonald's locations offset the super-popular ones but on average a Chik-Fil-A will be busier than a McDonald's.

>>9573454
That doesn't mean it is the most popular in the State though, just in the area that that particular chick-fil-a is in. In CT, I have only heard of a chick-fil-a existing in Fairfield county, for instance, whereas it is fairly easy to find a McDonalds near malls or on main roads nearly anywhere in the state. More people eat at McDonalds in the state than at Chick-fil-a, so to argue that the latter is more popular by this metric is misleading. CT is a small state, too, imagine how skewed it must be for large states.

>>9573391
>KFC over Popeyes
I feel really attacked right now

>>9573409
What a fucking bullshit metric. Corporate strategy would be to open more locations if a franchise is popular so this is going to show moderately successful franchise with the fewest locations, not the overall most popular

>>9573409
>In the article it's very clear. It's the number of visits to each restaurant divided by the number of locations.

That's fucking retarded. It completely ignores the fact that the number of locations is also an indicator of the level of demand.

>>9573391
I have never seen a canes anywhere in California so I'm immediately disregarding

>>9573391

>white caslte most popular in nevada.
>first location in vegas has only been open for 2 years.

>>9573391
New York has Chik-fil-a? I've never seen one.

>>9573391
is this bullshit based on fucking foursquare check-in's?
straight into the dump it goes

>>9573391
What the fuck is raising cane's?
What a shitty fucking chart

hawaii is correct as far as pure fast food chains go

zippys would be popular, but this seems to take into account multi state chains

have some mcdonalds breakfast platters

>>9573429
this. What the fuck even IS that place. Who did they poll for results? What the fuck is the source?

>>9574074
The source is HE WON, CHIK-FIL-A IS THE NATIONAL FOOD NOW, GET OVER IT

Is bueno only an Oklahoma thing? Cuz if so y'all niggas missing out lmao

>>9574074
I can only assume this is based on check-ins via foursquare, making this the least scientific "study" of all time and the fakest of fake news

>>9573391
i'm pretty sure there are fewer than 5 Cane's in the entire state of CA

Lol in and out texas... Wtf happened to what a burger

>>9573418
Nah the canes where i live is packed 24\7 30 mins waiting in the drive thru and almost an hour inside

>>9573391
>>9574154
what the fuck is this map, how is any of this possible?

In n Out has 234 locations in CA and only 35 in Texas
>http://www.in-n-out.com/locations

Raising Cane's has FIVE total locations in CA, and they're all in the same county
>https://www.raisingcanes.com/restaurant-locations?keys=&order=gsl_addressfield_1&sort=asc

>>9573407
houstonfag here. we're just now getting our first in n out. i'm partial to muh waterburger

>>9574164
>For the study, we looked at which chains received the most visits on average in every state based on the total number of visits to each chain divided by the number of locations in that state

>>9574181
The only way this would be fair would be to measure the popularity of the chains WITHIN A CERTAIN LOCATION. Comparing the only five small chains Company A has in a state located in a busy downtown metro to all of the locations of big chain B, including the slow, rural ones, is going to hurt the Company B chains that are located near Company A, which probably do better business.

When a new brand enters a state they are going to stick to the large metro areas because there are more people there and inherently more business. The larger, known chains can afford to have tons of restaurants in podunk towns because it will be profitable to them. This is why this stupid, shitty "study" has found literal who chains to be ahead of McDonalds and almost every state.

Is Taco Bueno remarkable in any way? I used to eat it as a little kid, but Taco Bell is right up the street and Taco Bell always has some wacky new food to try.

>>9574181
you're leaving out:
>Foursquare released data to reveal the most popular fast-food chain in every state
they didn't base this on financial records of every location of every fast food joint in every state
this is just some bullshit based on whatever data that was gathered by some app that no one cares about
it's flawed since most people aren't going to check in every time they go to McD's or taco bell for a quick bite
nobody wants "anon has checked in from McDonalds 485 times" in their profile
it's fundamentally skewed towards "destination" fast food places
the sample size is also most likely minuscule

>>9574305
It's drive thru text Mex. It's not dog food slathered in cheese 45 different ways like taco Bell.

So you tell me

>tfw most of america hates gays

>>9573409
Right so a chain like Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers seems more popular with five locations...

>>9573391
I've lived in California all my life and I have never heard of canes

>>9573414
The only "Texans" I know are all actually just Californian immigrants

to be more accurate:

FOURSQUARE USERS' FAVORITE RESTAURANTS

>Alaska is forced to vote for McDonalds because there's literally nothing else there

>>9574448
i, too, live in Austin

....
>please move back to L.A.

>>9573426
This. I didn't even know there was a chick fil a in the northeast let alone here in NY. I'm guessing that one location is pretty popping. Shitty way to measure popularity.

There isn't even an in and out in Houston which is the largest city in Texas. This seems like a lie.

>>9573436
That's retarded though. If there's just one location, people from other locations will drive to visit that one. If there were two locations, the traffic at both would be lower, and you'd also be dividing by two. It's a shitty methodology that biases the study towards chains with just a few stores.

>Washington prefers Chick Fil' A
>Not many Chick Fil' A actually here
>Hometown (Bellingham) used to have one at the university, but then they got rid of it
>Now living in Pullman. Closest one is in Moscow, Idaho.

Can these fuckers please just expand already?

More like Chick-Fil-A is the most popular restaurant among middle age women who use foursquare

>>9574622
This AFAIK the only In-N-Out is in Austin. Also they're overrated as fuck, like barely better than McDonald's tier.

>>9574622
there's on opening soon somewhere on westheimer near dairy ashford

>>9573409
There's like what, 2 Chick Fil A in Chicago? That number is gonna be skewed as fuck

>>9574663
>In-N-Out
there's like 5 here in Austin.
and yeah, highly overrated.
its like a slightly better McDonalds.

>>9573391
Who were the participants of this survey? The Baptist Church General Assembly?

I was going to ask why the fuck we were popeyes, but then I saw it was related to foursquare check ins and it suddenly made a lot more sense. last year the first popeyes in the largest city in the state opened up. also surprised anyone uses foursquare

>>9574765
FourSquare.

data is according to FourSquare

no one uses FourSquare except Chick-Fil-A christians

>>9573407
yeah, what the fuck? chick fil a and in n out are both garbage compared to whataburger.

i assume it's just novelty as in n out slowly spreads throughout the state. we got them in fort worth years ago.

>>9573391
>People who live in the "non-Chik-Fil-A" states, what's your excuse?
either flyover or disgusting liberal degenerates, take your pick

>>9573400
Theres one in essex junction.

>>9573499
laguna hills i think or aliso viejo

I have never seen a chick fil a in Washington Wtf

>>9573418
I've never heard of Cane's
>t. Bayfag of 30 years

>>9573391

>NY

Bitch I've never a seen a Chik-Fil-La here. It's McDonald's country here.

>>9573391
Wtf is canes? Never even seen one in socal. In n out is way more popular.

Never even heard of Cane's desu.

>>9575518
Tendies place. There's only like 8 of them in California total and they're all close to LA.

>>9574778
It's not even just going to Chick-Fil-A specifically because of their Christian "values', it's that having fried chicken on Sunday after church is traditional. There's only 8 states here that didn't go for chicken places.

>>9573391
In and Out is the most popular one in TX?

Nope. Nuh uh. Absolutely not. They're still getting here, still establishing business. There is no way they are the most popular, it's economically impossible. This map is fucked up, gonna need source for it.

>>9573391
Live in California for many years.

Never heard of Cane's.

>Chik-fil-a
>More popular than Culvers
>In Wisconsin
"no"

>>9573429
There is one on El Toro in Orange County. One.

And there are like 3 Chik Fil As in the entrie state of WA and they just opened within last two years.

shitty faggot infograph and fake news statistics. saged

>commiefornia
>not In-n-out
Not as gooda as you say huh
I knew that shit was overrated GARBAGE

>>9573391
Chic-fil-a is only popular because it's a meme and not readily available for flyovers

>>9576161
obsessed. also the map clearly shows it's popular everywhere

im from ny and have never seen a chik fil a

Wtf is Cane's? I lived in California all my life

>>9576302
Believe it or not.
It's literally a place that sells only chicken tenders

>>9573391
>California not In N Out
>Texas not Whataburger
>Wisconson not Culvers
>Nevada doesn't even have a fucking White Castle
This map is clearly fake.

>>9576344
>Ohio not Wendy's or White Castle
No pride

>>9574462
Alaska here, can confirm. Best fast food is probably Wendy's. We don't have a Chik-fil-a up here.

>>9573391
>BK nowhere in sight
BK BTFO

>>9576374
Don't you actually get paid for living in Alaska cuz it sucks so much?

>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.
>average visits per locaton
>divided by the number of locations in that state.
That's retarded.

>>9576469
I don't understand Foursquare. Do you leave reviews for the places?
What's the point of "checking in" to some place?

>>9573407
>tfw fucking love Whataburger
>The nearest one is 200 miles away

>>9575536
Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday.

>>9573407
It is Whataburger. This survey was done using a retarded method that causes chains with few locations to dominate the map. They even acknowledge this in the article. I don't know what they were thinking by doing it this way.

>>9576385

It's a meme map with a retarded formula in place. Don't get too excited.

>>9573409
Also, it's all based on visits by Foursquare users, not total visits or sales.

Michigan here. We have 1 chik fila in the entire state. Your image is bullshit

>>9576536
And you'd have to be pretty pretentious to check into a fast food place on Foursquare.

>>9573391
>divided by the number of locations in the state

this is an incredibly arbitrary and purposefully misleading way to measure popularity. the entire "study" here is rendered completely meaningless by flawed methodology.

>>9573391
>Texas not Whataburger
>New Mexico not Blake's
>Cali not In n Out
What the fuck am I looking at?

>>9573391
i tried whataburger after years of In n Out and it was fucking garbage

explain yourselves

>>9573391
The method they used to determine this is incredibly flawed, as other anons mentioned. Claiming that In N Out is somehow more popular/loved/better than Whataburger in Texas compared to Whataburger is just silly.

>>9576654
You were drunk.

>>9574670
Interesting. I basically live at that corner.

>>9576344
>Nevada doesn't even have a fucking White Castle
There is one on Freemont Street now.

Just got back from Vegas. Had a blast, though. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to get tons of "food" into a place like the Mandalay Bay.

>>9573391
I live in SoCal and have never fucking heard of Raising Cane's.

I have never seen a culvers. Kcmo fags please leave.

>there's literally two white castles in nevada (both vegas)
>it's the state's most popular chain
Is nevada that desolate?

>>9576905
You ever been to Nevada?

>>9576712
Yeah, what the fuck is this?

>>9576920
>>9576971
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

>>9573391
What the actual fuck is this retard map OP?
What the fuck is that article? Four-square is science now? Who the fuck uses four-square.

Kansan here, there are only 4 culvers in the entire fucking state. It's damn near impossible for culvers to be the most popular fast food chain here. This is absolutely retarded.

>>9573409
Oh. Thats why this retarded map is like this.

I live in Ohio, but Canes is king.

>>9573400
can confirm, NH here.

lots of wendys... and KFC

>>9574085
Taco bueno was pretty big when they first came to wichita, arguably as popular as taco bell, but now theres only 3 left

>>9573541
I've been to one on Long Island and in the city, so they definitely exist but they're not all over.

>>9573391
>texas
>innout

>cali
>not innout

>oklahoma
>taco bueno

it's like they just had a kid randomly pick shit

>>9573391
Native kansan here, i have only ever seen/eaten at one culvers that was in Kansas. Only other locations are in that hell hole Missouri.

>>9577117
The most popular chain in California is a chicken joint with 5 locations that only serves LA. I'd never heard of it until I saw this, but I can confirm we literally kill each other just for a chance to stand in line at a Cane's.

Let's be real. Chik fil a is a gigantic meme of a chain. Their food is good but niggers and retards think it's the holy grail of fast food.

Beef sandwiches > chicken sandwiches any day, therefore even Wendy's is better than Chik fil shit.

>hawaii has louisiana chain
and poor alaska doesn't have a choice really

>>9577168
Spicy chicken biscuit and spicy chicken sandwich are the best out there. The nuggets are decent too. Plus they tend to be clean and well-staffed by polite people

>>9577164

I didn't know the west coast had canes

It's my favorite place here in Kentucky, cheap and good quality

>>9573391
retarded methodology. there aren't even 10 chick fil a's in WA

>>9576467
they've begun to slash that too.

alaska is great for a guy like me who likes rain/snow and guns and hates people

>>9573446
>If they're more popular, of course they're gonna be more prevalent
I would disagree. I like in Milwaukee, WI and there are at least two McDonalds close to me, one KFC, a Burger King, a Wendy's, a few Subways, and a bunch of other various places. There's two CFAs in the area but one I really go to, but I go to that one CFA more than any of those places combined because I genuinely like the food/service there more than any of those other places. Plenty of my friends here are the same way.

>>9575584
same. Calling bullshit on this map like everyone else in the thread is

>>9573391
There's like 3 chic shitgays in all of Kentucky

>>9573391
>Kansas is the only state to get it right.
Huh.

Chik Fil A is superior.

>>9573391
There are In N Outs in Texas? I have literally never seen one that I can remember

>>9574164
Downey is in LA County. But close though.

A new Chik Fil A opened in my city and it sucks. You have to cross two lanes of traffic to get to the store from the parking lot, one of which is the fucking drive thru window, where they can't even see you until you walk out in front of them. The first time I went, I ordered a deluxe chicken sandwich and there weren't any tomatoes or lettuce on it. Just recently I went and ordered a milkshake, and it took 30 minutes for them to get it out to me. A group of fratboys had been waiting there even longer and left after asking why the guy at the counter kept saying "just a few more minutes" for almost an hour straight. Washington is shit for fast food.

>>9577732
There is one in Dallas, not that they deserve it. Meanwhile I live in California and have never even heard of Canes. That map is horse shit. There are even chick fil as here. None within 10 miles of me, but I know where they are.

>>9574626
This. There is literally only one chic fil a in NY state

We don't even have chik-fil-a in my state. What the fuck?

>>9573541
Theres 1 somewhere around syracuse but the way they did their numbers puts it at the top because its the only one. It isnt offset by having a bunch of locations in 500 population towns

>>9573513
Not to mention White Castle sucks.

>>9573474
>That doesn't mean it is the most popular in the State though, just in the area that that particular chick-fil-a is in. In CT, I have only heard of a chick-fil-a existing in Fairfield county,


WHERE!!!!!!!!!?

>>9573391
>Minnesotan
>only about a dozen Chick-fil-A's in the state
Not even close to being right. Also,
>my town is +95% white
>only one chicken place, a KFC
>closed down this year due to not enough business
I didn't see one nigger yesterday.

>>9577716
in n out is better than culver's

>>9578996

The chicken at KFC is never crispy anyways. It's always mushy and gross. You're better of just getting the shit they sell at grocery store delis.

>>9573391
Ive livwed in California all my life and I've never even heard of Cane's

>>9573391

gtfo shill

Live in Washington, I've never even SEEN a chikfila

>>9580787
>never even SEEN a chikfila

this. different state, never even seen one. makes you wonder how much they paid "businessinsider.com" to make these claims.

>>9580787
same here for my state

>>9573391
>Louisiana's favorite is Chik Fil A
>Hawaii's favorite is the Louisiana-themed Popeyes
there's a joke here, but I'm not clever enough to find it

>>9573409

That would hardly make it the most popular fast food in the state.

The map is bogus.

>>9573436

If a fast food chain has only a handful of locations in the state, then they aren't popular no matter how many people go to those few locations.

>>9573391
Chik Fill A is an NWO mind control restaurant.

Kansan here. Most certainly never ate at Culver's. Most popular place around these parts is McDonald's, Chick-Fil-A, Freddy's, or Braum's.

>>9581384
what if it's Rhode Island

Kansan here
Where I come from a culver is a ditch alongside the highway

>>9581409
If you reply to this comment you will die in your next sleep

>>9573391
>White Castle

There is maybe at best 3 fucking white castles in this entire state.

>>9574164

There are 17 In n Outs in Nevada, 13 of which are in Vegas. Thankfully I live in Vegas or it would be a bitch to get some.

I would desire WC more if I wasn't from Jersey where everyone in the state has had the rat burger before.

>>9573400
Iowa just got it

>>9582747
please be real fuck

so foursquare is like yelp?

then naturally people would look up chik fil a because nobody ever knows where to find one like they can find a mcdonalds.

>>9573391
Chik-Fil-A is such overrated expensive garbage. The best thing they have going for them is that the sauce. Culver's beats them easily and they don't even focus on chicken.

I had no idea White Castle opened up in Vegas.

>>9573391
>White Castle in Nevada
Wtf

>>9573391
Chik-Fil-A is probably more popular because of the novelty. There are only like 9 spread across my state and with all the christfags flocking to it for the sake of it, of course it's going to average higher. They really should have factored in something else besides average visits/store.

Good god this map is retarded

>>9578996
>didn't see one nigger
thats cause the only nigger from Minnesota is dead

>>9582747
Here's to hoping

>>9573418
>Raising Canes just ripped off Layne’s Chicken Fingers in College Station

That’s why

>>9584148
What other metric should they have used?

>>9573391
>Oklahoma
Because Chik-fil-a is not open during the witching hours.

>>9584652
So Wisconsin wins?

>>9573474
There's a Chick-fil-a in Enfield

>>9584608
Probably the one people go to the most, dividing by the number of locations dramatically biases it to things with fewer locations.

The most successful of these maps are the one that show what the state goes to most relative to the national average

>>9584652
NM coming in with the good taste

>>9573391
this is based on visits per store

>>9584652
what is this based on?

>>9584652
This looks more accurate.
Also lol at washington

>>9584929
still way too much Chick-fil-a. Do they even have Chickfila in Minnesota?

Chick-Fil-A shills pls go

>>9573391
Why do people treat Chik Fil A like it's god tier?
It's literally a generic chicken based fast food place.

>>9586015
I don't get why anyone would ever choose chicken if they wanted fast food

>>9575324

>>9573391
Fake news, r-r-retard.

>>9573391
I live in Nebraska, we literally have one Chik-fil-a in my town. I'm surprised we aren't a Cane's state. We have a bunch and they're packed most of the time.

>>9573391
Nevadafag here
There is literally only one White Castle in the entire state

>>9577732
>There are In N Outs in Texas?
theres like 4 in fort worth
been to one like 5 or 6 times

got a whataburger down the road
never been there

when i did go to a whataburger it was always the blandest cafeteria style food

>>9589903

They built one near Fremont, so now that one in the casino isn't the only one.

This is based on demand/interest vs how much the state supplies, right?

>>9589313
>Idaho
Isn't there only like 1 major city there?
I've only driven through Idaho once and I remember there being literally nothing there.

>>9591265

It's so irrelevant that according to a map on most likely strike targets in a nuclear war, Boise is literally the only thing in the state that gets nuked. You don't live there, you're fine.

>Texas in n out
>California Cane's

I don't know how they collected this data but it wasn't good.

>>9591303
I think it's supposed to be >>9591240

So if there's high demand but not many restaurants, it scores higher

list is bullshit
NH here and I can say without a doubt Wendys is the queen

>>9591313
Gotcha, that would explain Texas and California. So what is it supposed to prove other than there aren't enough Chik Fil A? I live in Texas and wish there were an in n out and a white castle nearby. Whataburger is king but I still like in n out better than the other places. Also Chik Fil A is real good but overrated, Chicken Express is where it's at.

>>9573391

>>9584889
Its cause they serve local green chile cheese burgers

>>9573391
My city of 80k in CenTex doesn't even have an In-N-Out. But Whataburger and Chik-fil-a are right next to each other. Bush's Tender Tuesday is the best. All those fucking tendies.

There's no fucking way it's more popular than mcdonald's in any state.

OP you're actually a retard for posting this.

That map was debunked like, months ago because the way the math worked is that they took the number of people visiting each chain and divided it by the number of chains in that state. Meaning if you are in a state where there's maybe 1 or 2 chics, then those restaurants automatically win because they're getting the most customers by default of the way the math is done. Chic Fil A good for fast food standards, but not the best. It's cult status supersedes it's actual quality.
