Fast food restaurants seem to be everywhere these days, but do you know which restaurant is the favorite fast food place in Minnesota?

When I was back in high school, my first real job (outside of my delivering newspapers on my paper route-- is that even a THING anymore?) was working at McDonald's. And, I wasn't alone, this Yahoo News story says that 1 in 8 Americans (about 13.7%) have worked for, or are currently working at the Golden Arches.

So when I saw Stacker compiled the list of fast food restaurants with the most locations in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I thought sure McDonald's had to be first on the list. But, ope! As it turns out, I was off by quite a bit.
