The thread on this board about Wendys/Arbys got me thinking about local burger chains
which have gone by the wayside, forced out by stiff competition from Wendys, Burger King
and MickeyD's.
A longtime favorite in Pittsburgh was Winkys. They were all over the area, and their restaurants
typically had a unique, identifiable A-frame design.

They actually had a store for a time in the Chamber of Commerce Building downtown,
in the very same space that used to house the KQV window studio at the corner of Walk
and Don't Walk. The chain went belly-up around 1980.
Any other favorite local burger chains from the past out there?
