Recently Buzzfeed featured a list of 240 fast food, fast casual and chain restaurants and asked readers how many of them had been checked off their food bucket list. (I got 104, by the way, no big deal.) Buzzfeed's list is a little unfair unless you're extremely well traveled, as many of the restaurants are highly localized to different regions of the country or even Canada.

So I decided to modify their list for a chain restaurant gut-check that's a little more focused on New York State. So check out this list below. Each of these eateries, both national and local chains has at least one location somewhere in New York State. Count up the number of places where you've dined and let us know in the comments below.
