[edit] Contest

Does anyone know about a Burger Chef contest involving scratchers? My father told me about them; the object was that there were scratcher cards with questions on them, and if you scratched off the right answer, you won a free burger, fries or whatever. However, the fate of my dad's local Burger Chef was sealed when the employees just handed stacks of them out to people AND there was only about six questions... so a lot of people got free food. Now my dad said that they were from Burger Chef, but so far I haven't found anything about them. Maybe it was a local event? Does anyone know for sure? Thanks.... - Nick15

I do remember these. It seemed for a while in the early 70's that "Quiz Cards" became popular with several fast food chains. I don't remember what Burger Chef called the cards specifically. --Brad101 06:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Found something about a regional Indy 500 scratch-off game on the internet. SushiGeek 22:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure how extensive Burger Chef's presence in Canada was, but they did have some outlets in Ontario in the mid-seventies. (I'm thinking here specifically of their outlet on Kerr Street in Oakville). That's the only one I can recall in Ontario, but there may have been others. We used to get it mixed up with the ads on Buffalo TV for Burger King, which hadn't arrived in our part of Ontario at that time. I don't recall how long they lasted, but the Oakville outlet eventually became a Swiss Chalet.--Wee Charlie 20:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable External Link

Should the following page (Burger Chef Project) be included as a link, as it appears to be a fansite of sorts (and has a very strong anti-Hardee's slant)? WAVY 10 14:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I noticed the following quote:

"This site and its related pages are dedicated to a Burger Chef Revival!

(A Mixture of Pure Hard Fact and Solid, Stubborn Opinion)"

Sound like a fansite? WAVY 10 14:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I checked the website and article history before I removed it. Doesn't seem to meet the guidelines for external links or notability. The website has no indications of authority (no rankings, mentions in news articles etc.), the owners are anonymous (or at least not noted on the website), it's hosted on Gmail/googlepages, and there's no significant information to be found on the website that would add to this article. And since the edits are being made by a number of anonymous IPs, there's no real place to request clarification from the editor/s other than here. Flowanda | Talk 19:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Burger Chef and Jeff?

I seem to remember that there were two characters called Burger Chef and Jeff. Anyone remember these? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.167.254 (talk) 15:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd add it. As it is, there's little in the article concerning the chain's history during the 1970s (seems to have a gap between the General Foods purchase and the Hardee's buyout). WAVY 10 21:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Added it. WAVY 10 19:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
