Does anyone remember a chain somewhat like them? There were a few in the Indianapolis area but I forgot the name! Thanks

That's the one! Many years ago, I went into the one on E. Washington St. on Indy's east side and tried to order a medium rare burger, but they said that they only served their burgers well done. Even a discussion with the manager couldn't change things, so I just turned around and walked out.

Interesting. I went to Flakey Jake's in Columbus twice. The first time I ordered and received a pretty darned good burger that I ordered very rare. The second time I went, about a month later, it was already closed.

I just Googled "Flakey Jake's" and learned that the chain went belly-up in February 1992. They had less than one hundred locations at their peak, and, at the time of their bankruptcy, they were down to just six restaurants.
