"Good things come to those who wait," the saying goes. "Nothing worth having comes easy" is another famous idiom, and it seems like both apply to Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. This restaurant chain is nowhere near as big as KFC or Popeyes, but fans of Lee's Chicken are hardcore and dedicated. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who drives an hour to get KFC, but people will do it for Lee's Chicken.
It happens to avid fast food fans everywhere: You're scrolling through Instagram or TikTok and see a mouthwatering burger, sandwich, or dessert that looks too good to be real - only to find out it's not sold anywhere near you. A consistent menu or locations that you can find almost anywhere are some of fast food's main appeals. Regardless of whether a chain is regional or national, some of the most-loved food items on menus are tied to specific regions.
