 Burger King Summary
Burger King is a fast-food restaurant franchise that, along with McDonald's, has come to typify the U.S. "hamburger chain" concept that saw thousands of identical outlets spring up along the nation's highways after World War II and, later, in cities and towns from coast to coast and around the world.
The "Burger King" was a bearded king, who ruled the Burger King Kingdom, along with other characters such as "The Duke of Doubt" (his arch nemesis), "Burger Thing" (a large burger puppet), "Sir Shakes-A-Lot" (a knight with a craving for Burger King milkshakes), and the "Wizard of Fries" (a robot powered by french fries).
