I saw a documentary where a motorcycle cop drove up to the location and Bell was working on the building. The cop asked Bell what he was doing. He told him and the cop said he’d like to invest some of his retirement money. He did and got rich.
Bell himself sold out years ago. It’s said that he like creating the business but he hated running it.
It was probably decent quality food when he ran it. I ate there tonite and it was expensive and disgusting. I could not eat the beef meximelt - it was gross.
