“Burger Chef! We had one of those!..................”
In elementary school, we would say we were going home for lunch and go to the Burger Chef around the corner! I still remember the stupid jingle: “Where for a nickel and a dime you get...”
Went to the Krystal off Atlantic Hwy in Jacksonville when I was stationed at Mayport. Nice cheap way to fill your belly, and as an enlisted, cheap mattered.
In 1958 I was a two striper in the Air Force and worked part time at the Burger Chef in Sioux City, Iowa.
The inventor of the first “Happy Meal”. Used to call them “Fun Meals”. Man, I loved that place; best shakes ever. That one and Scotty’s (right across the street, strangely enough) where my too favorite places.
Loved Krystal; sad to hear they’re going as I grew up on the those things.
