Product Details & Size Guide
Share a little Burger Chef history with a new generation of family and friends. The Indianapolis-born chain became known for flame-broiled fare and memorable menu names such as the Big Shef, Super Shef, and Funmeal. Its story reached communities across the country and remains part of many customers' childhood memories. This infant bodysuit offers a charming way for Burger Chef enthusiasts to celebrate those family connections, and it makes a thoughtful present from a fan who wants to pass along a favorite piece of American restaurant nostalgia.
Burger Chef was an American fast-food restaurant chain that began operating in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1954. That year, founders Frank and Donald Thomas patented a flame broiler through their parent company, General Equipment Corporation; the first Burger Chef restaurant opened in 1957. The chain grew across the United States, often in smaller towns, and reached 600 locations in 39 states when General Foods Corporation purchased it in 1968. By 1972 it had 1,200 locations, and its peak in 1973 was reported as 1,050 locations, including some in Canada. Its menu included the Big Shef and Super Shef, and it introduced the Funburger in 1972 and the Funmeal in 1973. An international venture added 10 Australian outlets before ending in 1975. In 1982 General Foods sold the chain to Imasco, which also owned Hardee's; many restaurants converted to Hardee's or other brands, while others closed. The final restaurant using Burger Chef branding and signage closed in 1996. A Cleveland, Tennessee, restaurant continues to sell Burger Chef menu items under the name The Chef.
