DooDiligence Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I remember these from when I was a kid and just randomly came across this fun little story.

Burger Chef apparently developed a lot of other fast food concepts which are still in wide spread use today. The major lesson involves the perils of overly fast expansion. https://www.mashed.com/238779/the-untold-truth-of-burger-chef/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
