Are you looking for the best food in the United States? Look no further than Houston, Texas - the food capital of the nation. This city is renowned for its culinary excellence and is home to the most fast food restaurants of the six major brands in the country. USA Today even declared it as such, and local newspapers are full of praise for its excellent cuisine. Across all of these brands, there are 55,987 fast food restaurants in the United States. While these national chains are spread out across the country, Houston is where each of these brands has the most locations.
Take McDonald's as an example. This brand has the most locations of any of these brands, with a total of 13,965 restaurants. In Houston alone, there are 138 individual McDonald's locations - more than any other fast-food restaurant on the list. When comparing all McDonald's locations by city, data shows that McDonald's has 29 more locations in Houston than Chicago, Illinois - the second-ranked city - and 55 more than San Antonio, which is located about 200 miles west of Space City. This trend is exactly the same for the other eight restaurants; although their second most common city is different, all other chains have their biggest U.
S. presence in Houston. Houston may not have the most restaurants per capita - that title belongs to Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas (Nevada) - but when it comes to sheer number of locations, H-town reigns supreme as the food capital of the United States. So if you're looking for a delicious meal, head to Houston and experience some of the best food in America.
