The white-tiled building on Broadway is topped by a rotating neon sign featuring a glowing blue chef. Dick Spady and two partners opened this location in nineteen sixty-three, bringing the cheap, fast-food model of their original Wallingford stand to the heart of Capitol Hill. While other chains modernized their menus and buildings, this place keeps the original lineup of burgers and milkshakes. The company stayed family-owned for decades, famously maintaining pay scales that kept employees around for years behind the counter.
