A Trip Down Fast Food’s Memory Lane

Posted on February 24th, 2007

Does anyone remember Burger Chef? This fast food chain was started by brothers Frank and Dave Thomas (creator of Wendy’s) back in the 1960’s, and was later acquired by General Foods as an experimental venture into the fast food market, which ultimately failed. The chain was later sold to Hardee’s who then converted the franchise into Hardee’s Restaurants. Bet you didn’t know that.

Burger Chef existed long before my time. I was only a wee little lad when this business was in operation, but I do vaguely remember the Burger Chef that existed in my old hometown.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this video on YouTube for a Burger Chef Star Wars ad that once aired on TV in 1977, which should give you an idea of how old this chain was.
