The era of burger and French fry dominance is OVER. We're a soy latte and caramel macchiato country now, my friends.

According to sales data from 2010, STARBUCKS is now the country's third-largest chain restaurant.

McDonald's held on to its eternal spot as number one. Subway is number two.

For the past several decades, the top three in sales has always gone McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. But over the last ten years, the burger-and-fry culture started slipping . . . as sandwiches and coffee started making huge gains.
