Chick-fil-A is still the most popular on its home turf.

According to a recent Chick-fil-A analysis, Atlantans ate more Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches last year than residents of any other U.S. city.

The company is headquartered in Atlanta.

Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas nabbed the number two spot. Others who made the top 10 list include Houston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Los Angeles. In total, Chick-fil-A customers ate more than 300 million of the chain’s chicken sandwiches in 2016.

Founder S. Truett Cathy opened the first Chick-fil-A in Atlanta’s Greenbriar Mall in 1967.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
