Drunk Food Index September 2017

Overview

What has better late night drunk food? Las Vegas or LA? How does Buffalo, New York compare to New York, New York? Pizza vs. Burgers? We finally have the answers!

Welcome back for another monthly look at North America's state of drunk food. September saw Winnipeg continue to dominate late night drunk food, they had the largest absolute growth with 10 more establishments. Montreal was right behind them, they added 8 restaurants and had the largest percentage growth. Houston lost 5 establishments, although I kind of doubt that Hurricane Harvey had an impact on Yelp listings so quickly. I do fear there will be more of a downturn over the coming months while they rebuild.
