Burger Chef was just damned good...PERIOD, and many people never knew they flame broiled their burgers. Biggest mistake consumers made was allowing BC to die, while giving life to McD's, and now look where we are.
Looks like "consumers" didn't "allow" it to die, it was management that expanded it faster than they were able to keep up with. Then it got sold off and re-branded into another chain, which explains why as a kid I remember it disappearing so quickly.
I miss Burger Chef. It has so many memories for me and it was way ahead of its time. I grew up in Indiana where there were quite a few locations and my brother, sister and I would always choose it over any other fast food when we were growing up in South Bend. I'm always on the lookout for Burger Chef items that I remember and have all four Star Wars posters and two of the glasses that go with them. Always keeping my eye out for the other two. This place will always hold a special place in my memory as things were so much better back then and life was simple and fun.
I worked at Burger Chef in my hometown in Iowa in 1971 before the Fun Meals and condiment bar. Their food was great. We even had thinly sliced roast beef sandwiches that were better than Arby’s.
We had a Burger Chef in my hometown and it is one of my most cherished childhood memories! My parents took my sister and me there, every Friday for a Fun Meal. I remember all the Burger Chef And Jeff commercials fondly (And am so grateful that they're here on UA-cam!). I also remember being absolutely gutted when they re-branded to Hardees. :( It was one of those, 'Just like THAT, it's gone!' moments. Leaving only memories. Thanks for the video. :)
4:17 "Works Bar never caught on with the masses." Have you ever been to an El Pollo Loco restaurant? They've successfully employed this concept for decades.
Not all Burger Chef's were rebranded. That's factually wrong. Primarily in New England, Burger Chef continued on well into the 1990's. Carl Star and Hardee's combined and subsequently used some of the old Burger Chef product names like the "Big Shef"
We had a Burger Chef in kingsville Texas when I was little. They would cook the meat and put it on the bun. You put your choice of topping at the salad bar.
I remember Burger Chef quite well in Southern California. I enjoyed the burgers, as I prefer flame broiled burgers to fried. As the chain started downsizing back to Indiana, the ones in California closed, except for the one in Fontana California. That stayed open because that is where Burger Chef commercials were filmed. It was near film production companies, and there was more predictably sunny weather for filming.
Damn, I grew up in Cleveland and went to that one as a child!! Found out on the Travel channel that Dear Old Lake Winapasaka is still operating and still family owned!!! This was a wonderful area to grow up, going back someday!!!!
Early GenX, and I as a kid I was fascinated by their disappearance. There was a particular spot in Temple Texas where at least through the '80s, you could look down from the raised highway and see the frame of a Burger Chef sign below. It's surprising to hear how innovative they were, and even that they were started by a restaurant equipment maker to show off the equipment! The condiments bar was a thing that Fuddruckers had later. Unfortunately it looks like the virus shutdowns have killed them, even the original location near here that I had been going to since before it became a chain will probably not survive. I'm gonna miss them.
I ve heard that part about rivals. To be honest we used to stop at only Burger Chef I ever saw o Rt 9 on way to Jersey Shore in 60s early 70s. Didn't start seeing Mac Donald's in Jersey and NY until late 70s and not many. Burger chef also had the servers that came up to your car
I remember burger chef. It was a bummer when they closed down but I was pretty young and got over it 😃 Our burger chef became a pizza hut and now it's a bank.
I remember Burger chef and I tell people about all the time for a while you could still get the big chef at Hardee's once in a while but it's been some time since iv found a Hardee's that still does it. Ironically I had the very star wars poster hanging in my room as a kid!!!!
My parents would take myself and my siblings, to this awesome restaurant every weekend. I miss the 70's the food tasted much better then. I miss Burger Chef of those days.
HAD ONE, IN MY HOMETOWN IN CENTRAL IOWA, GROWING UP AS A KID, IN THE 70s. ALSO REMEMBER THE ONE IN DES MOINES, ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT !! GOOD FOOD, GOOD MEMORIES !!
As a child I loved Burger Chef! We didn't have tons of money to go to restaurants, but we could afford to go to Burger Chef a few times a month. I remember the collectable glasses and toys, and loved the salad/sauce bar. I was not happy when our local shop closed, everyone complained when it left. But with McDonald's near by and soon a Burger King across the road from it, I guess it was enough. Wendy's didn't move into the area until around 2000. But nothing was like Burger Chef
Late '70 early 80's I worked at a Burger Chef. I was a late shift and part of my job was dissembling and cleaning the chain drive open broiler, similar to what Burger King uses. That was a real chore, stayed burnt constantly.
My first job was at a neighborhood BC... became night manager at 16 for a whopping $1.10/hr! Learned a lot and ate lots of super chef burgers. The flame broiling was terrific!
Burger Chef was awesome! Then in the late 70s or early 80s, they changed their store appearance. I don't remember what they did to the inside. The outside was repainted a nasty green color. The type of green that you would sometimes see in a diaper. If you think of the contents of a dirty diaper on the outside, who wants to go inside to find more of similar reminders.
We used to go the 2 Burger Chefs in south Jersey on our way to the shore in the 1970's. I think they were both on Route 9, somewhere near Lakewood or Howell maybe. We loved Burger Chef! It was better than McD's by a stretch. We were sad when they disappeared forever. A typical corporate American FU story. So uplifting.
Practically every Saturday in the 1960s my mother used to take my two sisters and me to shop at Ann& Hope (a RI department store) then eat at Burger Chef was located right next to it. .
My dad used to drive 15miles to Burger Chef with the family. We did this about 1 day every other week. It was always a treat! I remember watching the machine that peeled the potatoes and cut them into French fries automatically.
I remember going to Burger Chef when I was a kid. I loved that I could put whatever toppings on my burger from the Works Bar. I always put a ton of pickles on them. I wonder if Fuddruckers got the idea to have a Works bar from Burger Chef?
Yes!! For some reason, their pickles were the bomb!! We would always order a large french fry and an empty cup. We'd fill the cup with pickles from "the works bar", get 2 or 3 condiments cups of mayo and dip the pickles and the fries in the mayo, (no ketchup for the fries!) My girlfriends and I still talk about it to this day!!! Burger Chef brings great memories!! No restaurant today even compares!
@ 2:38, I see now where Mc. Donald's got the idea from when they eventually franchised with there first restaurant. It's like how the Backstreet Boy's came first and then when INSYC came they all of a sudden burst onto the music scene and then they eventually did a commercial for Mc. Donald's. Even though the Back Street Boy's had done a commercial for Berger King, there more like this chain "Burger Chef" where they were good but then when Mc. Donald's via INSYC came along, they both were way more better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first job was at a Burger Chef in Orlando - The Haberkamps continue to run a Hardee's in the same location which they've owned for over 50 years. Good times, good food, and despite what the video claims, the 'works bar' was very popular.
I live in the town still. I was born in 1993. So i literally sadly missed out as a kid on Burger Chef. Sadlyi Don't remember the taste of it. Or remember getting a burger there. But i was so little. And it was literally the LAST location in America. People came from around the world to our little town looking for it lmao
We had a Burger Chef in my hometown and it is one of my most cherished childhood memories! My parents took my sister and me there, every Friday for a Fun Meal. I remember all the Burger Chef And Jeff commercials fondly (And am so grateful that they're here on UA-cam!).

In Indiana, we had one a couple of blocks from our school. I would get an apple or something for lunch and spend the rest of my lunch money there after school. Ours had a sneeze guard over the fixins bar so it wasn't as gross. They kept it neat and clean. Great food! I miss it.
07:52 Jan Brady worked at Burger Chef? well, Mike and Carol probably told her "she must keep her grades up" to keep working there, ya know on a _trial basis_ only for now. actually never saw that episode but i'm convinced it occurred! XD
Loved Burger Chef! Does anybody remember Flints? Flame broiled!. We had a Redbarn here in Dayton Ohio that was bought out & is now called Benjamin's Burger Master. Still making killer burgers & chicken! We still have a couple Frishes left. Did anybody have a Parkmore? Kinda like Frishes but with different sauce. Best chicken around. One of BC comercials in this mini doc features a young Jan Brady. Can you find her?
I loved the works bar! Then Hardee's took over Burger Chef here and that was the end of that. I don't understand how that happened. I wouldn't feed Hardee's to my dog, I wish it should have been the other way around.
I miss the 70s when we had burger chef, biff burger, Surfside burgers, and it was also a time when McDonald's and burger King burgers were much better than today and you could get served quickly, even without a drive thru, and you could actually get your food hot! McDonald's today has 2 drive throughs, 2 windows, and takes twice as long to get your food, and you can be assured your order will be wrong, cold, and barely edible. I think all these restaurants need to go back to their roots because it was tremendously better back then compared to today.
I loved Burger Chef when I was a kid, we had one here in Lebanon Ohio long before we got a McDonalds when I was a teenager, Burger Chef was a lot better but it became a Hardee’s and burned to the ground in 1983 when I was in college.
I really really miss The Big Boy, and The Slim Jim, both of these were way better than A Big Mac and McDonald's doesn't even offer anything like a Slim Jim.
I think Hardees should co-brand their restaurants, they can bring back Burger Chef, for the cost of the signage, and draw a lot of business away from competing chains.
Sorry to tell you, but Burger Chef did not invent the “Works Bar“. Another fast food restaurant, called Roy Rogers, has had a “Fixin’s bar” since always. Most of the Roy Rogers are closed, but we have some in Maryland still and they are very good and they do have the Fixin’s bar. There are also some on the New Jersey Turnpike. I’m not sure if they have the Fixin bar. But anyway, not an original idea by Burger Chef.
Yes, the Untold Truth of who murdered the best hamburger joint ever. I so wish they would bring that place back.
Should be on a true crime
Burger Chef was just damned good...PERIOD, and many people never knew they flame broiled their burgers. Biggest mistake consumers made was allowing BC to die, while giving life to McD's, and now look where we are.

As a child, I ABSOLUTELY remember this place. My Fiancée has no clue what I am talking about and we grew up in the same city...
I used to love Burger Chef. It was my favorite place back in the day.
I worked at Burger Chef in my hometown in Iowa in 1971 before the Fun Meals and condiment bar. Their food was great. We even had thinly sliced roast beef sandwiches that were better than Arby’s.
I remember dressing my own burger at Burger Chef when I was a little kid, that was a pretty big deal to me.😂
Yes, that worked out great back then! Burger Chef was better than
McDonald's, Wendy's.

Best fish burger ever !! My Burger Chef experience was in St. Louis in the mid 1960s. Bringing it back will be very nice !
I miss Burger Chef...and Shakey's Pizza...gone, but never forgotten!!
Shakey's still shaking
They have a Shakey's in Palmdale CA... Loved the buffet lol
There's still a Shakey's in Okinawa.
Cleveland Tennessee, still has one, and in operation
the one on keith street? it used to be a burger chef but since they went out of business the restaurant is now just called "the chef"
Rea that's so awesome
Damn, I grew up in Cleveland and went to that one as a child!! Found out on the Travel channel that Dear Old Lake Winapasaka is still operating and still family owned!!! This was a wonderful area to grow up, going back someday!!!!
Never had a Burger Chef menu item that I liked even a little. Still, I wish they were around to remind me of why I stopped eating there.
I do remember getting toys from Burger Chef in the 60's before McDonald's offered them. Burger Chef was the original creator of the Funmeal.
I used to love Burger Chef as a child. I was so sad when they closed.
I used to love Burger chef true story Burger Chef what is the very first place I had a fast food Burger awesome experience
That brings back some memories.
I’d like to see a documentary on the Red Barn restaurants. It was my favorite hamburger restaurant!
Burger Chef makes a noteworthy appearance in Pam Grier's 1975 movie SHEBA, BABY.
Early GenX, and I as a kid I was fascinated by their disappearance. There was a particular spot in Temple Texas where at least through the '80s, you could look down from the raised highway and see the frame of a Burger Chef sign below.

off of I-35?
We had a Burger Chef in Greeneville, TN until 1991. Sad they didn't make it, I used to eat there a lot.
I ve heard that part about rivals. To be honest we used to stop at only Burger Chef I ever saw o Rt 9 on way to Jersey Shore in 60s early 70s. Didn't start seeing Mac Donald's in Jersey and NY until late 70s and not many. Burger chef also had the servers that came up to your car
That was our Friday treat every week in the 70's
My family used to go to Burger Chef after spending a day at the Jersey Shore. Great memories!
I unfortunately never had B.C. I dont remember it either, but it looks, and sounds like it was great. Thanks for the video!
We had a BC up until my last year in Jr High school. Best, cheapest burgers around. The fixin's bar ruled! BC, please come back...
The Fixins Bar is what it is called at Roy Rogers. Still to this day 👍
i worked at BC at 14 years old. I worked the register. bethesday maryland. 1965
I remember burger chef. It was a bummer when they closed down but I was pretty young and got over it 😃
Our burger chef became a pizza hut and now it's a bank.
There is a former Burger Chef in my to, now called simply The Chef. It is truly one of the most interesting places to eat in town. Wonderful food.
Their burgers were better than McDonald's. We had both near by and never went to McDonald's.
What is it's location?
@@triplejay61 Because you deserve to know, I found the answer:
Cleveland, TN/Keith Street
I remember Burger chef and I tell people about all the time
for a while you could still get the big chef at Hardee's once in a while but it's been some time since iv found a Hardee's that still does it.
Ironically I had the very star wars poster hanging in my room as a kid!!!!
My parents would take myself and my siblings, to this awesome restaurant every weekend. I miss the 70's the food tasted much better then. I miss Burger Chef of those days.
Cruised the burger chef in circleville,Ohio in my 63 Chevy.also the red barn in Washington courthouse had great burgers.
Can't hear Circleville without thinking of that creepy episode of Unsolved Mysteries!!!
There were two restaurants here in Huntsville Alabama during the 1960's and early 1970's 11 cents for a regular hamburger....in the early 70's....🍔
HAD ONE, IN MY HOMETOWN IN CENTRAL IOWA, GROWING UP AS A KID, IN THE 70s. ALSO REMEMBER THE ONE IN DES MOINES, ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT !! GOOD FOOD, GOOD MEMORIES !!

Cumberland RI! I am from East Providence originally.....miss Ann & Hope too, another good store that went away.
I loved burger chef my grandma use go take me there
They had great burgers and their fish sandwiches were so good
Nothing like it today sadly
The "works bar" was successfully adopted by Fuddrucker's.
Roy Rogers had a fixing bar
@@frankbrunetti2109Right? And they always have!
"A nickel and a dime, at Burger Chef"😀
I remember driving to the Jersey shore in the 70s and always pigging out at Burger Chef on the way !
Burger Chef was my favorite fast food place, and this was in a time when getting fast food was a rare treat.
Once a week if your lucky
We had a burger chef and another chain call chuck wagon burgers. Both were great!
My dad used to drive 15miles to Burger Chef with the family. We did this about 1 day every other week. It was always a treat! I remember watching the machine that peeled the potatoes and cut them into French fries automatically.
I remember McDonald's hamburgers @ $0.15 ea and cheeseburgers @$0.19. Fries -$0.10. Loved the sauce on the Burger Chef burgers. Those were the days! ☺
They used dill pickle tarter sauce.
I remember going to Burger Chef when I was a kid. I loved that I could put whatever toppings on my burger from the Works Bar. I always put a ton of pickles on them. I wonder if Fuddruckers got the idea to have a Works bar from Burger Chef?

We had a Burger Chef in my hometown and it is one of my most cherished childhood memories!
My parents took my sister and me there, every Friday for a Fun Meal. I remember all the Burger Chef And Jeff commercials fondly (And am so grateful that they're here on UA-cam!).

My very first job!1976.i can’t say I ever ate a burger here.
I remember that works bar and the “mariner”
( fish dinner)
Oh my.
It's interesting because the restaurant Fuddruckers used to have a works bar. Not sure that it still does.
Should have mentioned that Hardees sometimes offers selected classic Burger Chef items, at least in some regions.
Loved Burger Chef. Anyone else remember Red Barn?
07:52 Jan Brady worked at Burger Chef? well, Mike and Carol probably told her "she must keep her grades up" to keep working there, ya know on a _trial basis_ only for now. actually never saw that episode but i'm convinced it occurred! XD
Roy Rogers, before the pandemic had a condiment bar. All the pickles you want! It’s also in the same building that Burger Chief was in.
I really miss this place!
I remember them. I was a kid back in the 70s
Burger Chef had the best salad bar. The burgers were so delicious, and so were the fries. Good Memories.
Loved Burger Chef! Does anybody remember Flints? Flame broiled!. We had a Redbarn here in Dayton Ohio that was bought out & is now called Benjamin's Burger Master. Still making killer burgers & chicken! We still have a couple Frishes left. Did anybody have a Parkmore? Kinda like Frishes but with different sauce. Best chicken around.

Burger chef was my first job, it started me in the restaurant business a simple enjoyed it as a young.
3:51 im now extreamly pissed at the fact they couldnt even get it when its right in front of them. just why?
I loved the works bar! Then Hardee's took over Burger Chef here and that was the end of that. I don't understand how that happened. I wouldn't feed Hardee's to my dog, I wish it should have been the other way around.
Damn , sure go for a big chef right now - sure miss this franchise
I was born 1950 I so remember them and I really loved there burger
I miss the 70s when we had burger chef, biff burger, Surfside burgers, and it was also a time when McDonald's and burger King burgers were much better than today and you could get served quickly, even without a drive thru, and you could actually get your food hot! McDonald's today has 2 drive throughs, 2 windows, and takes twice as long to get your food, and you can be assured your order will be wrong, cold, and barely edible. I think all these restaurants need to go back to their roots because it was tremendously better back then compared to today.
I loved Burger Chef when I was a kid, we had one here in Lebanon Ohio long before we got a McDonalds when I was a teenager, Burger Chef was a lot better but it became a Hardee’s and burned to the ground in 1983 when I was in college.
I really really miss The Big Boy, and The Slim Jim, both of these were way better than A Big Mac and McDonald's doesn't even offer anything like a Slim Jim.
They had great burgers and fries! It's still a great company idea just waiting at any time to be done again.
They were the best! Hardee’s sucks makes me kinda sad.
Ahhh Burger Chef. Great milkshakes
I still have a few Star Wars posters from Burger Chef. I wonder what they are worth, if anything....?
I used to eat here when I was a kid. It was a great burger place. You get your burger and add your own condiments. . . .
I love this channel. But Can anyone help me figuring out what is Burger Chef???
Because I have never tried it.
It was like a Burger King they just had really really good food. I remember this place being better than McDonald's as a child
@@lisadeav73 Hm. Wish I was around back then.
It must have been a tasty place 😋
You're too young.
I think Hardees should co-brand their restaurants, they can bring back Burger Chef, for the cost of the signage, and draw a lot of business away from competing chains.
I loved those burgers, I think they used Garlic Salt as the main seasoning.
I worked for Burger Chef 1973 to 1976. Best food in the burger wars. The Super Chef was the biggest burger. Quarter pound.
I've seen their commercials, but never quite went there.
I remember the commercials with Burger Chef and Jeff.
I loved Burger Chef. They had the best french fries and oh my word the Big Chef sandwich so good. I stopped eating McDonalds food about 12 years ago.
Sorry to tell you, but Burger Chef did not invent the “Works Bar“. Another fast food restaurant, called Roy Rogers, has had a “Fixin’s bar” since always.

We had burger chef and tasty freeze down in Ga.
I miss the tasty freeze truck that came to my neighborhood in the late 50s - early 60s
Reminded me of Sandy's which also went belly up!
I remember Sandy's
He looks like a guy who would operate a burger museum
Burger Chef was the best! The works had was great, and the funeral was far more creative than the happy meal ever was.
At 2:31 Zefram Cochrane enjoying a burger to celebrate warp drive
From time to time, Hardees will do limited releases of selected Burger Chef menu items, just to protect the trademarks.
I managed two Burger Chefs in Canada,enjoyed those times!
