Where Was The Birthplace of Fast Food?

The birthplace of fast food is often considered the United States, especially with White Castle in Kansas in 1921, which was one of the first true fast-food restaurants.

 

 

Lovefood recently published an article highlighting the best fast food restaurants in America, featuring unique establishments in each state. "McDonald’s, Burger King, Five Guys – we all know these American fast food giants. If you really want to get to know a state’s fast food scene, though, you need to seek out the local joints with cult-favorite burgers and hordes of loyal customers."
