"With no business training or college degree she was the only person left to keep the 60-year-old chain in the family - her only training was having worked on the weekends at a branch in Redding as a teenager."

I'm surprised her parents didn't prep her more on how to run the business.  Granted, she doesn't have to know all the ins and outs (pun intended) of running the business...so long as she hires good people to do it for her, but still...seems like that could be a bad deal over the long haul.

I put In-And-Out tied with Five Guys, but both are a close second to the local DC burger joint Z-Burger.

Her dad died of an overdose when she was 17, and she went off and got married the same year.  That shows a number of things:

1. Dad had no judgement
2. Dad died unexpectedly
3. Adults had very little influence on that girl

maggoo: Tat'dGreaser: Married three times?

Crrrrraaaaazzzzzyyyyyy

Or, maybe, men can also be gold diggers.

Well she's either crazy or stupid then.

DoBeDoBeDo: She owns Five Guys?????

Haha, I thought the same thing.

The thing about In N Out, I have no idea how a place with such great burgers, makes the most godawful French fries that taste like moist cardboard.

Tat'dGreaser: You haven't lived until you've pooped in a different bathroom everyday for over two weeks

Anything over a fortnight's worth is just ostentation.

Get em animal style. That way you don't really taste the fries.

give me doughnuts: Anything over a fortnight's worth is just ostentation.

I am glad someone else said fortnight because I was just itching to use it

Tat'dGreaser: miss diminutive: Isn't that called being homeless?

No no no, pooping on a different street corner every day is homeless


Given the size of her house, she might be pooping on a different street corner each time as well.

No franchises, fail-mitter.

Mega Steve: Kimpak: Andromeda: Speaker2Animals: Crazy, maybe, too.

Yeah but if I suddenly got all that wealth in my early 20s thanks to my mom dying, and my dad dying of a drug overdose at 17 to boot, I don't think I'd be fully normal either.

She has all the makings of a super hero....or villain.


Because she's the hero the fast food industry deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt her. Because she can take it. Because she's not our hero. She's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A burger knight.

Incidentally, one of the top results for "burger knight" is this pic. Not exactly what I had envisioned, but it works.
