New Yorkers Love WHAT?! Cheeseburger – The Favorite Fast Food Burger By State

A map shared on reddit recently claims to show the favorite fast food burger by state.

New York, list all of the Eastern United States chose a hamburger from Five Guys as the state's favorite. Every single state from Michigan, Indiana down through Mississippi and eastward favored the Virginia based chain.

This gets varied a bit in the western United States. Many states chose California’s iconic In-N-Out Burger while Texas based Whataburger dominated the Southwest. Midwest chains Culvers and Steak-n-Shake claimed some upper Great Lakes and Great Plains states.

Dig a little more into the map and you might begin to wonder if this survey is actually rubbish. Consider Illinois chose In-N-Out Burger as their favorite despite not having a chain anywhere within the state or any neighboring state. So what's behind the map? The magazine Mental Floss compiled the map based on an online survey conducted by Ranker.com
