The U.S. States With The Most Fast Food Restaurants Per Capita

Planning a fast food road trip?

America has been informally dubbed a "Fast Food Nation." It is the land of shoe string fries and ancient, everlasting burgers. It's a utopia where the ketchup flows like wine.

If you're driving cross-country, you'll be able to find a fast food establishment of some kind in every single state, but you might have an easier time in the locations that aren't surrounded by sea. Yes, it is middle America that has the most fast food restaurants per capita, with Kentucky taking the lead (fried chicken, anyone?). It may come as no surprise, then, that Kentucky is among the most obese states in America. Check out the map below to discover how your home state stacks up to the rest of the county.
