This is insane. C-3PO and R2-D2 wouldn't be caught dead in a Burger Chef.

A Mad Men Mystery Solved

During Mad Men’s run, the fictional ad agency chased, landed and lost some great accounts. Heinz, Kodak, Cool Whip, and John Deere were all part of the plot lines. When it came to food, Sterling Cooper serviced Howard Johnson’s, H. Salt Fish & Chips, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Burger Chef.

The Burger Chef story was an excellent reminder or education for millions on the defunct fast food chain. In the mid sixties, it was the model that competitors followed but went out of business. That is a story for another time.

The show found an old Burger Chef location and revitalized it for a few scenes. The location is in dispute by blogs. Some claim it is Jim’s Burgers at at 765 East Foothill Boulevard in Rialto, California along Route 66. Others say it’s Chris’s Burgers at the same address. We surmise both are right. The show brought Jim’s building up to snuff and it became Chris’s. The photos show it is the same building and surroundings.

UPDATE: The Burger Chef scene was filmed at a former Burger Chef location, now Jim's Burgers, in Rialto, along Route 66.

Daily Comic Journal: October 8, 2022: "Striking Structures."

Yeah, I miss those days when the buildings were unique an interesting and many of them had large cool looking signs. Alas, communities soon objected to all the distinct looking structures, saying that they were ugly and were a blight to look at. Maybe they had some sort of point, but I still miss them.
