Burger Chef was bought out by Hardees and in turn, Hardees was bought out by Carl Jr's...however, along these lines, I discovered that Dog & Suds remains in business, albeit in the midwest. Not sure that it's a Moxie story, being resurrected from the dead--it just downsized.

We had a Bob's Big-Boy's near here, which was originally a Abdow's. None of these are around anymore - only McDonalds and Burger King - and Berger King seems to be fading fast.

Every once in a while someone tries to crack into the burger market, but they can't seem to gain any market share in this area anyway. We recently saw something called "Five Guys Burgers" come and go. Their claim to fame was the curly fries - but it was not enough.

@Tom Grzybow Their overpriced burgers did 'em in. There's a Five Guys in Enid, opened not long ago, but the same could be said of Schlotzky's but it'd dead in Enid. I expect Five Guys isn't far behind. The price of beef these days is through the roof so expect more burger joints to go under, and along this line is a marketing gimmick called "smashburger". Like sliders, it's an attempt to charge you more for less meat, but I don't think that's gonna be the salvation of the industry.

There's a burger joint that has been in business since the end of WWII in #EnergyIL and its burgers contain no beef--however, instead of expanding, it guards its recipe like it was Fort Knox and won't even license people to make it. #NeslersPolarWhip owes it to humanity at this time, seems to me. I've eaten there several times and can personally attest to the fact that theirs is a very good burger. Their maintained sales over the decades will back me up on that.

McDonalds is pushing its chicken thingamajigs more and more. But the price of chicken is going up quickly also...
