The Real Burger King

Well, after living almost a full year in Coles County now, I finally made it to Mattoon's Burger King, a restaurant started in 1953 that lost (at least nationally) its trademark case against the corporate monolith.

Here's the Wikipedia LINK on Burger King and its famous lawsuit.

While I'm not a huge fan of fast food with the exceptions of White Castle, Dairy Queen, Lion's Choice, and assorted delis, I like the "original" Burger King. It's a no-frills establishment with good food at a fair price.

The burgers are much like Steak-n-Shake's (thin patties), and its assortment of ice cream concoctions are inviting too.

If you ever find yourself in Mattoon, IL sometime, check it out.
