My Grandmother lived a block away. I think I was 14 at the time. We had the broiler with two chains. One for the regular burgers and the other, slower one for the larger sized burgers. I still to this day place the mustard and ketchup on my burgers in the same manner in which the dispenser placed it when we pressed the bottom of the bun up against the activator. Splop, splop. Two beads of mustard and two beads of ketchup, followed by pickle and the burger. Toppings were next with the lid. My days of High School at Huntington East allowed me to walk up at lunch time for a Big Shef and a drink. I do miss Burger Chef.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-51674875392358621772023-09-18T15:20:18.115-04:002023-09-18T15:20:18.115-04:00It's been Los Amigos Mexican for many years. ...It's been Los Amigos Mexican for many years.

I did work at one in Oxford Ohio close to Miami University that had a large dinning room and no parking lot. It was on the second floor. The Big Shef sauce as we made it was salad dressing, relish, onions, and a dash of Frank’s Hot Sauce.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00541391559713264299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-69033274210907524422020-11-07T11:40:14.392-05:002020-11-07T11:40:14.392-05:00I have been looking for the recipe for the mushroo...I have been looking for the recipe for the mushroom burger forever!!

I went to Tennessee Tech University, and that Burger Chef was within walking distance of campus. One of my very first college meals was there, and I ate there usually at least once a week.

When Borden bought out BBF in mid-70s, the food quality plummeted to the point where Borden Burger in 1976 offered a "Bicentennial special" of two value meals for a dollar one day a week and people still wouldn't come back.
