Said "/burger joint/" was the "Burger Chef".  I was twelve when it 
opened up. Up until then I couldn't stand a hamburger. Hot dogs were 
what I lived on. Anyway, a friend's mother took us there for lunch and 
they didn't have hot dogs, only burgers. However, they weren't your 
normal fried hamburger. They were "Char-broiled" burgers. So, I tried 
one and I fell in love with them!
