Bring back Burger Chef!

My aunt used to work at the burger chef in Wausau WI.

Anybody know who did Burger Chef's voice. It sounds really familiar.

Why do so many cheaply-animated things feature at least one character doing over-exaggerated arm movements? (often towards the "camera")

@trainerdad, Frank Thomas was president of Saniserve and created the predicessor to the broiler, then called the "insta-broiler". He saw the potential and used the broiler he developed for Burger King to beat them at their own game.

@TheManiacOnWheelsUSA Actually, I grew up in western Massachusetts, Pittsfield, and we had one there. I remember that in my head Burger Chef was the biggest, McDonalds was second and then there was this crappy joint called Burger King which was some terrible rip off of Burger Chef. How quickly all that changed in the early '80's.

Count Fangburger seems like a bit of an ass.

It appears that I was wrong. Just found a fan site, and it appears that the closest one to where I live now was 21 minutes from my house.

I do not remember Burger Chef at all. Don't even remember seeing one commercial, like this one, on television. According to another poster, they closed between 1983 and 1984. That would have made me 12 and 13 at the time.

When I was a kid, I remember BK, McDonald's and Jack in the Box in my hometown. Wendy's came a little later on.

@TheManiacOnWheelsUSA At one stage they were the second largest burger chain in the USA behind McDs!

@lowellriggsiam The last one closed in 1996.
