I'm from Columbus. People here also think they started here. We do have a
regional headquarters, and they are an ubiquitious establishment, especially
when you are looking in the wee hours.
Now, Wendy's _did_ start in Columbus (across from COSI, on East Broad St.; the
number one restaurant is still there and still open) and so did Rax's Roast
Beef.
I'm told that we have the highest number of fast-food outlets per capita in
the U.S. Having two chains start here certainly puts us ahead of that curve.
