And the filming location of "Coming to America" was at a Wendy's restaurant. :D

It could reminds also of the last Burger Chef surviving until 1996 well after all other Burger Chef was shut down.

Btw, the producers of the tv series Mad Men recreated for the time of one episode, a Burger Chef restaurant in at a former Burger Chef location http://franklinavenue.blogspot.ca/2014/05/la-cameo-heres-where-mad-men-shot-those.html
