(WDNews) – In a surprising twist, Chick-fil-A has been dethroned as America’s favorite fast food restaurant. This year’s USA Today rankings, determined by readers’ votes, saw KFC and Del Taco climb to the top spots, despite not even making the top ten last year.
Del Taco, with its modest 600 locations across 16 states, claimed the coveted number one spot. KFC followed closely in second place, showcasing an impressive leap from obscurity. Chick-fil-A, known for its chicken-centric menu, settled for third place after holding the top position last year.
Meanwhile, Taco Bell maintained its position at seventh, and Captain D’s, a beloved seafood restaurant, secured the sixth spot.
This shake-up in the rankings highlights the evolving tastes and preferences of fast food enthusiasts across the country.
