Back in the day, there was a chain of Roy Rogers hamburger joints and
they had a roast beef sandwich that was REAL roast beef. I'm guessing
that they were cooked at a central factory and just re-heated in the
store, but it was pretty good, rare and almost deli quality. They also
sold a lot of fried chicken.

Roy Roger's got bought out by Hardee's and they changed hands a few more
times. I did a quick search and there are only a few Roy Roger's stores
left... all in the mid-Atlantic region.

I wonder if their food as as good as it used to be?
