The Only Legal Non-Burger King Burger King

I discovered this story in SECRET AMERICA: A GUIDE TO THE WEIRD, WONDERFUL, AND OBSCURE.

See preview here.

The book is part of a series devoted to different cities, and if the national version is a good example, the individual volumes are probably worth your attention as well.

In any case, here's the lowdown on the Burger King of Mattoon, IL.

Where I grew up, there was a King Burger, their sole location. We always went there, since their food beat Burger King & McDonalds. There may well have been some litigation/agreement for them, too. If so, they were the only legal non-Burger King King Burger.
