I worked at burger Chef in the summer of 1964. 90 cents an hour. Nice size burger for 15 cents. Add a thick slice of cheddar an extra 3 cents. I made French fries every day out of Idaho potatos. Would wash, cut, wash them again, and blanch them for a couple minutes in clean oil. Into the freezer, ready to sell for the next day. 15 cents for a large bag of fries. I remember the Coke concentrate came in 1 gallon glass bottles. Can't recall what a coke was, probably a dime for a small one. No air conditioning in the place . I worked the grill and had two screen doors and two box fans on the floor , blowing hot outside air on me. Hot job, that grill. The owner was a fanatic about using clean oil in the deep fryer and kept the place spotless. Thanks for bringing these memories back!

Ha! I graduated High School in Austin, Texas, 1963. The Burger Chef commercial lyrics, set to a catchy tune, were, "...For a Nickel and a Dime you get: French Fried Potatoes, or a Big Thick Shake, or the Biggest Juiciest Hamburger yet!" Oh yeah! For less than a dollar, you could get both you and your date a hamburger/fries and a milk shake each!! :) That was apparently before they started the fancier large hamburgers... but they were very tasty!

(loved those dough nuts) As a teen I worked there the very first Saturday breakfast was introduced. The manager actually said something like "I hope I didn't schedule too many people to work. Who goes to a burger place for breakfast?" OMG, it was it's own version of a zombie apocalypse with the mob of people who came. (many of them morning zombie cranky)

Yup. It was the Indianapolis suburb of Speedway. It remains unsolved because the incompetent Police didn’t check for evidence like fingerprints or ballistics. They foolishly accused the 4 victims of stealing money from the BC and leaving to go party. The irony of this is that it occurred Friday Night November 17,1978, the SAME night the Star Wars Holiday Special aired remember, they had a tie in with Star Wars, even more tragic, is that Jonestown occurred the following day. Burger Chef started having trouble by 1975, mainly because they weren’t consolidating and wanted to remain regional. They wanted quote to become “The Midwestern Whataburger”. Many Franchisees had approached them but BC didn’t want to franchise out and Parent Company General Foods thought it would be wiser to Just wait until 1979 to look at franchising and expansion to the Gulf Coast. Ultimately, on November 16,1982, General Foods sold the struggling chain to Imasco, Parent Company of Hardee’s who converted nearly all of its existing stores into Hardee’s. The Final Indiana based ones didn’t get converted into Hardee’s until December 1995.

Burger Chef was the ONLY restuarant in my region which catered specifically to children while I was growing up. It was over thirty miles from my home to the nearest Burger Chef, so I only got to eat there a couple of times per year. It was not quite as rare as Christmas, but those Fun Meals with my mom were pretty close. Irreplaceable memories. When I was about eight, my mom and I had a chance to go to the local regional hospital, and she promised me a trip to Burger Chef. We got there, and the only restaurant in the region which had something special specifically for children was just...gone...erased forever and replaced by the horror that is Arby's. I grew up with routine violence, economic privation, bullying and unrelenting harassment from children whose only joy in life was bringing misery to others. Just a simple Burger Chef Fun Meal once in a while made life suck a whole lot less....until Arby's came along out of nowhere and just shut it all down.

How sad that many a burger place was lost. Not just Burger Chef but Henry's, Yankee Doodle Dandy & even A&W have been lost. BTW: doesn't anyone find the Burger Chef ad with the dancing burgers a tad...weird?

Yankee doodle dandys my favorite as a kid,we had one in waukegan ill. Around the corner from my house. They had good chicken too. I haven't heard any one bring that name up in years! Thanks for jogging my memory,those were some of the best times of my life!

Anyone else notice the girl that is serving R2-D2 and C3PO, is the actress who played Violet Beauregarde, in Willy Wonka circa 1971? She's in the "Star Wars poster" commercial, from1977. It's at the 6:33 mark, during this set of commercials.

I'd like to see one from the '60s with the catchy jingle:"For fifteen cents... a nickel and a dime... at Burger Chef you eat better every time!Every nickel and a dime will get... French fried potatoes, big thick shakes or the greatest 15 cent hamburger yet!" No actors, just basic animation.

I remember a television ad where 2 friends buy the bacon burger, and one of them turns to a little boy in the next booth and asks him, “a third is bigger than a quarter, right?” Or something like that. It’s the first time I can remember seeing a burger with bacon on it. Once my Cub Scout den stopped at a Burger Chef for lunch after a camporee. I had the Big Shef, and the biggest kid in the den had the Super Shef. I remember thinking he was some kind of a stud for eating a burger that big.

Wish I still had the King Kong glass, and or, The Empire Strikes Back poster. They’re probably collector’s items.
