Nice CollectionBy tesgI actually learned a few things about Burger Chef I didnt know about in this book (they were frying burgers at most locations in the end?); even though this book is much more of a picture collection than a story.A number of these images have been available at Burger Chef tribute sites over the years; but theres lots of things from the founders collections as well that I havent seen before.A fine collection of images and words.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

The story of the science of the modern hamburger as we now know it; and the personalities that were involved is truly amazing.Once the best burger place on your street; its not. . . Gone
