      I love that transition so much!

      Also, I miss Fuddruckers. Might be one or two left, but nowhere near me anymore.

        As of 2019, Fuddruckers had 49 company-operated restaurants and 107 franchises across the United States and around the world.

        Number of locations | 60 (January 2024)

        Uh this sounds a little low…:

        On June 21, 2021, Black Titan Franchise Systems announced a deal to acquire Fuddruckers for $18.5 million.

          So, a cheap pandemic era purchase, marginal expansion, and I suspect a touch of enshitification to boot. That’s a bummer.

        I don’t think I’ve ever been to one before. I assume that it’s basically a Red Robin with different branding.

          Not quite. You order/build your own burger in line before sitting. And one of their claims to fame is that they grind and form their meat on site, rather than shipped frozen.
