I would have thought Bowling Green would have beaten us.

I've always heard that Lexington is the fast-food capital.

Such studies are hard to understand unless they tell you what type of city data is being utilized. MSAs? PCSAs? CSAs? Atlanta's always a telling city to consider. It's "city" population is 33rd ranked, but it is the ninth biggest MSA. Louisville in terms of city population doesn't get credit for all the incorporated cities within the county, areas that have a population/fast food ratio that heavily favors population.

Whatever statistical definition they used clearly underplays the fast food identity of Toledo, OH. That, as far as I'm concerned, is the fast food capital of our nation.
