Kentucky's fast food ranks 6th among the 50 states

There’s been a lot of fast food talk around here lately, so I thought it would be appropriate to share this list from Thrillest ranking the 50 states by their fast food. As you might expect, Kentucky’s signature fast food restaurant is KFC, but you may be surprised that KFC and Kentucky’s regional fast food chains were enough to earn the Commonwealth the #6 spot:

6. Kentucky

Did you know that Kentucky Fried Chicken was founded in Kentucky??? Did you?!? Well, now you do, and it’s safe to say that the country’s biggest fast-food purveyor of poultry is its biggest and most important claim to fame. Primarily because the Double Down is a thing that exists there. It doesn’t stop there though. While their smaller, more unique chains are few and far between – they include Wingstop and Wingzone (do you think Kentuckians like chicken?) – they’ve got five Tom + Chee locations, which is a chain literally based on fancy grilled cheeses & tomato soup, aka a chain that should seriously be everywhere immediately. Factor in the the presence of Southern stars like Krystal, Bojangles, Cook-Out, and Raising Cane’s, and the Derby is no longer the main reason to visit KY.

Notable fact: Colonel Harland Sanders left his home at the age of 13 and had a bunch of different job before he found his clucking calling.

OK, I need to know more about this Tom + Chee. Where can I find one??
