          The suffix is right, the rest is wrong (including the final answer). Unlike the other Rileys I've made today, this one is not a proper noun.

          You are on the right track though by thinking that the answer could be described as "America's favourite xxx" for some value of xxx but you need to figure that part out on your own ;-)

          Also, this one does not use homophones (I would have said if it did).

          The suffix is right? I thought for sure I had the infix rather than the suffix haha
