Okay.. Which one came first and who copied who?

 

There's a thread about this somewhere. Amazing how many logos have the "MINI wings"

 

It's a very common design theme, don't assume it's been "borrowed".

 

 

I just checked the Steak n Shake web page and it looks like Steak n Shake began in 1934.

 

That's not the LOGO I got with my Mini! Take a pic & show all of us!

 

It just goes to show there's no accounting for bad taste. The logo is about the only thing they have going for them.

 

No kidding - I ate there *once*, and I actually thought to myself "this can't be how this is supposed to taste..."

Never went back again to find out (and don't plan to).

 

Twice a year, I come to Indianapolis with a group of volunteers to work on the next couple of issues of a quarterly magazine for high school sports umpires and referees.

We have a running joke about walking down to the Steak and Shake in downtown Indy. But we never go there. I first time I came here, I went in because it was open late at night and it was bright and clean. It went downhill from there, both in food taste and in the friendliness of the servers.

Do they have some in California, or have you been to another state? We don't have any in Oregon. Oh, and what are you doing up this early, or late?

 

Whoa! You've never had a S & S bacon chesse burger! Hmmmmm GOOD!

 

I thought their shakes were decent until I had one from Chick-Fil-A. YUMM!

 

I can't remember, but it was early in my Navy career, so it would have been in Florida or North Carolina. There aren't any in the western U.S. as far as I know. And I'm up late because it's the weekend. If I don't have a hard-set schedule, I'm actually kind of a night owl.

 

I think that I started a similar thread a couple of years ago.

mmmmmmmmm....
