I loved Burger Chef. If I recall, they were less expensive. Their burgers were grilled, weren't they? Loved the meal with fries and coke. Simple pleasures.
I remember their version of the Whopper was called the Super Chef, while their version of the Big Mac was called the Big Chef. I remember not liking the burger bar because I could never make mine taste the same way the prepared ones did. One time they gave away Frisbee of their toy offering.
Wow that commercial is quality. I call that a VINTAGE 1974. 1974 was four years before YOU-KNOW-WHAT cursed the Burger Chef and closed it in 1982 and 1996.
@dwolf4d Frank and Donald Thomas built a flame broiler (called an Insta-broiler) for Jacksonville, FL based Insta-Burger King. They thought the machine was such a good idea that they opened their own restaurant using the same flame broiler. In 1954, their Indianapolis based Burger Chef wasn't in direct competition with FL based restaurant that became Burger King.
I'm very nostalgic about the Burger Chef my dad used to take my brother and I to in the early 70's in Salinas, Calif. I miss that old place! :-)

They had almost as many locations as McDonalds then closed? Strange.
