McDONALD'S
Various locations
For years, the letter "M" has been a proud sponsor of "Sesame Street."
But there's something else that makes the 13th letter of the alphabet proud: being the resplendent reminder of where you can find East Tennessee's favorite french fries.
Seeing those towering golden arches conjures up images of mouthwatering fries saturated in tomatoey goodness.
And just like those golden arches, the fries at McDonald's are big and yellow.
Runners-up: Burger King and Wendy's
