    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.
