Burnet Road and Justin Lane
If I remember right, there was a BC at the intersection of Burnet Rd. and Justin Ln. around 1973ish?? Loved it, I was around 8 years old. I also thought it was better than Mickey D's. Just one day, it was gone. I haven't been them same since.

South Padre Island Drive & Weber Road
I grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas and I know there was a Burger Chef at the corner of South Padre Island Drive and Weber Rd. I'm pretty sure it had been changed to something else by the time we left Corpus in 1978, but I know it was there when we moved into the house there in 1973.

Yes,you're right. I ate at that Corpus location many times as a child. I grew up in Corpus from '68 to '77 or '78. I had plenty of funmeals there before they closed it.

I remember eating at that same Burger Chef. My older sister had her first job there. We would go see her at work and eat those yummy burgers. Oh what memories of those awesome Funmeals. I collected the whole village. I wish I still had it.

9571 Dyer Street
I was a night shift manager at the Dyer Street store, 1968-70. As I recall, there were actually 2 of them on Dyer Street. I worked at the one fartherest north. I think the address was 1071, Dyer street. Then again, 1071 may have been the store number. Not sure if that is right at all. We had a crew that would make todays fast food crews hang their head in shame, if they had any understanding and the kind of training we had.
David Saursoff (sp?) German kid. If that broiler could crank out 2000 hamburgers in an hour, David could put every one of them together. His hands moved so fast you couldn't follow them with your eyes.
Don Dean (African American, also promoted to management) could work front or back line with the best of them. He had an incredible sense of humor
Terry (last name slips my mind) Phillipino decent, I believe. She could take any order, any size for any number of people, fill it expertly and in a hurry and never hit anything but "one item cash" on the register. She did the math in her head. (today, people look at what the register says they owe you and hand it to you without counting it)
There were others, too. We had a crew that won a franchise competition for store cleanliness and another one for food quality and service 18 consecutive times. There were 18 stores in the franchise chain including the one in Las Cruces, NM.
The General Managers name was Reg Adelung (I named my first dog "Reggie" and his wife also managed after him. I believe her name was Doris. Reg told me that the secret of putting together a great crew was to be willing to fire the bad help, even if that meant the entire crew, which he did when he made me the night manager after I had been there only 2 weeks. He was right. We ended up with a crew that I would stack up against any restaurant crew, any where, any time. I guess he didn't know that 40 years later, it would be illegal not to hire bad help and a liability that can kill your business to fire them. These days, they say "the squeaky wheel gets the most grease." I remember when we just replaced the squeaky wheel, and it made us the best there was, anywhere.
Those were the good old days :o)

Fort Worth Texas at the corner of S. University Drive and N. Bellaire Dr. Right next to Texas Christian University. Used to eat those fish sandwiches and drink coffee. Loved that place. This was in the late 60's early 70's.
