And I’m sure there are fast food chains on the list that you’ve never even heard of. 

In honor of National Fast Food Day Friday, take a look at the most popular fast food chains by state, broken down by MSN.com.

Floridians flock to PDQ in Tampa the most, according to MSN. That is where the chain first opened in Florida in 2011. 

PDQ stands for people dedicated to quality, and it sounds like the chain has quite the fan base by topping the list in Florida in just a few short years of existence. 

Some of the most popular food chains make sense, and some may surprise you.

We all know California is synonymous for In-N-Out Burger, but for Alaska to have an ice cream store as its favorite, we're a bit thrown off by that one.
