Americans are notorious for our love of fast food, and now, thanks to Thrillist, we can identify the home (founded or headquartered) of individual chain restaurants by state.
The clever-map-creating folks over at Thrillist HQ impressed us all with their Booze Map of the USA, but their latest map, "Red, White, & Food" (full-size here), leads me to believe that they might just be getting started with these diagrams.
Some of the findings illustrated in this map won't come as much of a surprise -- like that fact that Washington is linked to Starbucks, New York to Sbarro, California to In-N-Out, Vermont to Ben & Jerry's or Ohio to Wendy's -- but other chain restaurant homes seem less intuitive.
