America loves its burgers, but which fast food burger joint does it love the most? Thrillist decided to find out.

The method? Comb through 20 million FourSquare app check-ins to see how many people are eating what type of burger where, then calculate which chains are most popular in every county across the country.

So which of the 16 chains reigns supreme in Central New York? Burger King!

Burger King had the most check-ins in Jefferson, Lewis, Herkimer, Oneida, Oswego, Madison and Chenango Counties. Further to the West, Allegany and Steuben Counties also preferred the King.

BK has fierce competition in Upstate New York overall, however. Five Guys Burgers and Fries dominates in Onondaga, Wayne, Monroe, Seneca, Schuyler and Tompkins Counties, and further to the east, it's the preferred option from Essex County all the way South to Ulster County.

Wendy's is the favorite burger chain for Cortland and Broome Counties, and Cayuga County prefers McDonald's.

Burger King has spots of popularity all over the country, including counties in Nebraska, Utah, and even Hawaii. Five Guys enjoys more popularity in New England, according to Thrillist's map.

Only one chain managed to dominate an entire state. In-N-Out Burger was the most popular in every county in Nevada on Thrillist's map.

The Daily Mail noted that the most popular burger joint across the U.S., according to FourSquare check-ins, was Hardee's, home of the Mile High Burger.

The Mail also pointed out that while seemingly dominant franchises like McDonald's and Wendy's appeared less popular on this map, this could be because people are simply less likely to check in there on FourSquare.

There may be some questions about the "science" behind the data. FourSquare users can check in to any place from anywhere in the world on the app, and some commenters on Thrillist.com did claim that the chain deemed most popular in their county didn't even exist there.

Still, it's fun to look at which chains get the most FourSquare love in each area. Take a look at the complete enlarged map. Do you agree with the most popular chain from your area? Leave a comment below.
