message: Burger Chef is spelled with a "C".  Super Shef and Big Shef products are spelled with an "S".  To verify this, go to Google, do an image search on Big Shef or Super Shef.  You will see photos of signage from that era showing the hamburger's picture with that spelling.

I was told "Big Chef" was trademarked to another company, so they had no choice but to brand theirs with an "S". I don't know if this is important enough to add to the article.

message: 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)

replies: text: 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)

message: Is this image really necessary? I don't think it's a very high-quality image, as you can hardly see the ex-Burger Chef for all the stuff that's in the way. I've also added a much clearer photo of a former Burger Chef (albeit of a different building type), so I feel that the other image isn't very useful.

message: *The three other logos that Burger Chef used through the years need to be uploaded to the main article. The logos can be found on Logopedia and descriptions about these three logos can be found below.
*1st logo: The first logo came out shortly after Burger Chef started. This logo was very basic and was a very common neon sign. This logo was used until 1970.
*2nd logo: This logo was introduced in 1970 and was used until 1972. It had a family of 5 on it and it was never used on the signs. The words "Burger Chef" were in lowwer case lettering and the words "Family Restaurants" was above the family.
*3rd logo: The third logo was used from 1972 to 1978. This logo had the Burger Chef with the Burger Chef lettering written in red on his hat. The chef had yellowish brown skin and he was sticking out his tongue. The chef's tie was blue with white pokadots.
*Well, there you have it. Those are the three logos I want on the main artical.

message: There was a Metairie Louisiana location we would eat at occasionally. I remember the lettuce was shredded and piled on big. I thought at the time that that may have been in keeping with the idea of a fancy burger, like more elegant.
It was always a treat to go eat there because they were different than the other places. 174.171.79.18 (talk) 00:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
