If you are someone who travels in the US a lot or are planning a road trip within the US, a fun way to experience the different states is by visiting their most famous fast food joints! Although people outside the US think there is just Burger King and McDonald’s, there are actually a lot of regional and even state-only fast food places, so check these out!
The Southeast
If you’re going through North or South Carolina, and even some parts of southern Virginia, you have to stop off at Cook Out. This spot is famous for their milkshakes that come in over 40 flavors, but you can also get delicious hot dogs, burgers, hush puppies, cajun fries and more.
Pacific Northwest
Forget about Taco Bell or Chipotle, if you’re in the Pacific Northwest you have to grab a bite from Taco Time. What Taco Time has that no one else does is essentially a deep fried burrito, which gives you an extra crispy outside but all the goodness and softness of a burrito on the inside.
Missouri
Known for things like Kansas City style BBQ, the other big ticket item that you can only find in Missouri is the steakburger from Winstead’s. Although it might just seem like a flattened burger, people from Missouri swear by it.
