According to my parents, we used to have a Burger Chef. It was demolished before I was born. Still an empty lot where it was located.

Apparently Burger Chef had locations in Canada.  Here's a former Burger Chef in Oshawa, Ontario.

Not to mention that Burger Chef was bought out by Imasco, a Canadian tobacco company, in 1982. Imasco owned Hardee's at the time, which resulted in the BC restaurants becoming Hardee's.

Having good nostalgic thoughts about this chain after watching last week's episode of
Mad Men.

My grandparents used to like to take my brother and I to their Cochran Rd. store just
outside of Pittsburgh.  Those funky ceiling light fixtures with the odd little colored "v" shapes
on them sure brought back memories.  Nice job by the Mad Men set design people recreating
a Burger Chef store circa 1969.

Last time I ate at one was on the Univ. of Pittsburgh campus in 1983.

The former Woodhaven, Michigan Burger Chef. This one never became Hardee's. It later became Uncle Harry's and is now Massage Envy Spa.

This building was Burger Chef's First location in Bristol, Connecticut. It's at 410 Farmington Ave. Later it was Kentucky Fried Chicken, Fayva Shoes, Just Produce (A Produce Market & Deli), several independent restaurants, and now it's Yogurt City.
