Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This restaurant is seen across North America, has a two-word alliterative name and is known for the simple advertising slogan that is the restaurant's name followed by "....Yummm!"

Answer: Red Robin

Red Robin has roots going back to the 1940s, with the first so-named restaurant appearing in Seattle in 1969. They expanded to Portland OR in 1980, to Canada and Japan in 1985 before going nationwide in 2000.
2. What is the name of the Las Vegas eatery that features the Quadruple Bypass Burger, which weighs in at 10,000 calories, and Flatliner Fries?

Answer: Heart Attack Grill

The Heart Attack Grill unashamedly serves over-the-top unhealthy meals, served by buxom young women scantily clad in "nurses'" outfits. Oh, and any customer that weighs over 350 pounds eats for free.
3. Which chain that began in Southern California features French fries cut on site from whole potatoes and burger choices including the "Double Double" and "Animal Style"?

Answer: In-N-Out Burger

In-N-Out Burger was exclusively a Southern California treat from its founding in 1948 until the late 1990s. The restaurant has slowly expanded to now include Northern California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Texas.

Answer: Fuddruckers

6. Which restaurant that serves square burgers is recognized as the first fast food chain, and was featured in the title of a 2004 stoner comedy movie?

"Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" brought national attention to the chain which is based in the Midwest and the New York City area. Founded in 1920, their "sliders" originally sold for 5 cents, and were only 10 cents into the 1960s.

Answer: Krystal

8. Which burger chain began in 1986 with a restaurant in the Washington DC area run by a group of siblings?

9. Which burger chain touts itself as "America's Drive-In" and still offers curb service by car hops wearing (in some locations) roller skates?

Answer: Steak 'n Shake

Steak 'n Shake is famous for their "Steakburger", originally made from ground T-bone, sirloin and round steaks.
