Columbus is a city of great food, not only evident by its local restaurants but the popular chains that we know and love today that got their start here. Columbus is known as a fast-food hub partly because of its history as a breeding ground for successful restaurant chains. But there are a few exceptions Columbus can't take full credit for (technically): White Castle, though based in Columbus since 1934, was started in Wichita, Kansas before moving its headquarters to the Buckeye state. And New York-style pizza chain Sbarro, despite starting in Brooklyn, moved from New York to Columbus in 2014.
