Texans are very familiar with the huge offerings of fast food they encounter when driving around the big state. That is why Thrillist ranks them as the top state, ranked by fast food.

The list ranked all 50 states based on their fast food locations, the variety of choice, the taste and uniqueness of the food and more.

Here are some highlights from the list:

Vermont scores 50th for fast food choices. This is probably because it consistently wins awards for "healthiest state." Vermont also has a "buy local" movement that pretty much scares fast food chains from setting up shop there.

In North Dakota, there are tons of fast food choices, but not many unique chains that the state can call its own. Interestingly enough, some McDonald's in the state start workers at $14 an hour and even offer signing bonuses.

Washington state offers Burgerville and ranks 40th on the list. Burgerville is a unique burger joint that focuses on local ingredients. Sounds more like a farmer's market than a fast food chain.

Ranked sixth on the list is Kentucky. The state brought Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) to the nation and also offer several other smaller chicken-focused places like Wingstop and Wingzone.

California is second on the list and it deserves this ranking because McDonald's and Taco Bell started here. Mexican fast food is big here too: Del Taco and Green Burrito started in California. There are also some unique smaller chains like Hot Dog On A Stick and Wienerschnitzel.

At number one on the list is Texas. The huge state offers so much to choose from in fast food. Whataburger came from Texas and so did Burger Street. But, there are other small players like James Coney Island and El Rey Taqueria.

Regional places like Culver's and Raising Cane's are realizing Texans love their fast food and have expanded down into the Lone Star State.
