No One Understands How Millennials Eat

Many news outlets have pondered the seemingly complex question of what is it about those 20-somethings. As of recently, the fast food industry has been trying to figure out the same thing.

Well, the young adults have spoken and they vote Wendy's and Burger King over McDonald's. But the real winner is Chipotle, a chain that ranks fourth in every other demographic.
