Well, you can't argue with what works.

kenobi65 said:- Burger Chef was a bigger hamburger chain than the first two; when I was a kid, I think they were probably the #3 burger chain, behind McDonald's and Burger King. IIRC, they had "kid's meals" even before McDonald's did. They, too, are long gone...according to this site, the Burger Chef name is now owned by Carl's Jr., which also now owns Hardee's (though Hardee's is still around, for now.)

wingsandsword said:Lee's Famous Recipe was another KFC pretender to the throne, they were really common around here about 20 years ago or so, but slowly died off. Some still exist, getting by, but it's clear they lost the war, and I haven't seen a new one open in more than a decade (and seen a good number close in that time).

sniffles said:Now we can talk about specific fast-food dishes we used to enjoy that the chains don't offer anymore! I miss chili-cheese burritos from Taco Bell.

Krieg said:FWIW the McRib is making one of it's periodic reappearances here in SW Ohio.
Anyone remember when BK had a breakfast burrito of their own?
