Chick-Fil-A is undisputably my favorite fast food restaurant. It's actually the only one I eat with any regularity. And probably 75% of what I ate in college. So I've done my part in this statistic and in helping make North Carolina one of the most Chick-Fil-A obsessed states. Though I'm surprised we aren't higher on the list. And Georgia, the restaurant's home state didn't come in first!

Take a drive around Charlotte at lunchtime (or breakfast or dinner) and you're bound to pass an extremely long Chick-fil-A drive-thru line. So its popularity is well documented. But where did this list come from? It actually came from a survey about favorite fast food dipping sauces. You know you love some Chick-Fil-A sauce though I'm partial to Polynesian.

The team at Upgraded Points wanted to know: Which U.S. states are the most obsessed with this fast food chain, according to residents? To find out, they asked respondents in each state which fast food restaurant is their favorite. They then determined the states with the highest % of respondents reporting Chick-fil-A as their favorite. And over 45% of North Carolina respondents named it their favorite chain!
