Where SA gamers like to eat

11 February 2015
Junk Food

When you’re trying to get a full weekend’s gaming in (at a LAN or, you know, just because) there’s barely time to take a break to make some coffee, let alone cook.

This then raises the question: what is the food of the elite gamer (or at least the majority of gamers)?

Our survey of favourite fast food places and restaurants received 406 responses, and yielded two clear winners.

KFC is the most popular fast food place by far with over 16% of the votes, while Spur is the most popular sit-down restaurant with over 20% of the votes.

The table below shows the top 5 fast food places and restaurants chosen by survey respondents.
