Fast Food's First Locations
Duration: May 1, 2019 - July 31, 2019

Tasks:
1. McDonald's
Richard and Maurice McDonald opened their first restaurant in San Bernadino, California, in 1940, selling burgers for 15 cents. That location closed decades ago, but it’s now home to a museum honoring those first Golden Arches.
🍔 Read a book set in California OR a Series #15 OR two brothers as prominent characters.

2. Burger King
Before there was Burger King, there was Insta-Burger King. The fast food joint in Miami flipped burgers and poured milkshakes for just 18 cents apiece in 1954, in hopes of replicating the success of �ѳ��ٴDzԲ�����’s. That same year, Insta-Burger King brought on a new business partner and shortened its name to Burger King. The chain might not have reached �ѳ��ٴDzԲ�����’s status, but it certainly locked itself down as a competitor.
🍟 Read a book set in Florida OR with a page count that contains 2 of these numbers; 1, 4, 5 or 9 OR where a character enjoys a burger or milkshake.

3. Starbucks
Starbucks�� first location will have a familiar ring to any coffee lover: Pike Place Market, the namesake of its famous coffee blend. The chain spent seven years at one spot in the Seattle market before moving to another spot in 1977, but that “new�� spot still pays homage to its roots. Like other brands, Starbucks has tweaked its logo over the years, but at Pike Place, you can still spot its original brown logo.
�� Read a book set in Seattle OR with a brown cover OR where a character goes to a coffee shop.

4. Kentucky Fried Chicken
Ironically, KFC didn’t get its start in Kentucky—it first opened its doors in Salt Lake City, Utah. Colonel Harland Sanders (yes, he’s real) was passing through and dropped in on the Harman Café’s owner, whom he’d met at a restaurant convention the year before. The Kentucky-based Colonel asked to put his chicken recipe on the Harman menu, and the owner agreed. The restaurant’s Kentucky-fried chicken was a hit, and the rest is history. The original building was torn down, but the location still has a Harman Café sign and keeps memorabilia inside.
🍗 Read a book set in Utah OR where a character has a title (Colonel/Dr./Chef etc. Tell us the title.) OR where a character shares a recipe.

5. Pizza Hut
The original Pizza Hut wasn’t exactly a hut, but it was certainly no mansion. In 1958, founders (and brothers) Dan and Frank Carney were students at Wichita State University. When a local landlady suggested they turn the beer joint on her property into a pizza shop, the Carneys took her up on the offer. Their sign for the 500-square-foot brick building only had room for eight letters, and five of those had to be p-i-z-z-a—so they went with “hut.�� After the brothers outgrew that tiny kitchen, the building was moved to the WSU campus, where it’s now been converted to a Pizza Hut museum.
🍕 Read a book where the MC is in college OR with a landlady as a character OR with an eight letter word in the title.

6. Dunkin�� Donuts
In 1950, mom-and-pop doughnut shop Open Kettle changed its name to Dunkin�� Donuts—and started a revolution. Back then, you’d put a dime down for a cup of coffee and only get two choices: regular or decaf. The original location in Quincy, Massachusetts, got a makeover in 2011 taking it back to its retro roots.
🍩 Read a book set in Massachusetts OR published in 2011 OR with a two word title that begins with the same letter.

7. Tim Hortons
In 1964, former NHL player Tim Horton decided to open a doughnut shop in Canada, selling pastries and coffee for just ten cents each. The original building in Hamilton, Ontario, was torn down, but you can still head there for your coffee fix—in fact, its corner on Ottawa Street is nicknamed Tim Hortons Way—while browsing the onsite museum.
�� Read a book whose MC is a hockey player OR set in Canada OR with a cup of coffee on the cover. Please post the cover.

8. Chipotle Mexican Grill
In 1993, Steve Ells took what he learned in San Francisco and opened the first Chipotle Mexican Grill in Denver, Colorado, in a former Dolly Madison Ice Cream store at 1644 East Evans Avenue, near the University of Denver campus, using an $85,000 loan from his father. Ells and his father calculated that the store would need to sell 107 burritos per day to be profitable. After one month, the original restaurant was selling over 1,000 burritos a day.
🌮 Read a book set in Colorado OR where a character eats a burrito OR where you find a written address in the text. (Give us the sentence and page/loc #.)

9. Wendy's
Wendy's is known for its square hamburgers, sea salt fries, and the Frosty, a form of soft serve ice cream mixed with frozen starches. Dave Thomas opened the first store in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969. Square patties had corners that stuck out so that customers could easily see the quality of the meat. The restaurant is named after Thomas' fourth child Melinda Lou "Wendy" Thomas.
🍔 Read a book set in Ohio OR with a square item on the cover OR where a character has four children.

10. Dairy Queen
The first DQ restaurant was located in Joliet, Illinois. It was operated by Sherb Noble and opened for business on June 22, 1940. It served a variety of frozen products, such as soft serve ice cream. While this Dairy Queen has not been in operation since the 1950s, the building still stands at 501 N Chicago St. as a city-designated landmark.
🍦 Read a book set in Illinois OR where a character owns their own business OR where a character goes out for ice cream.

2. Burger King
Before there was Burger King, there was Insta-Burger King. The fast food joint in Miami flipped burgers and poured milkshakes for just 18 cents apiece in 1954, in hopes of replicating the success of �ѳ��ٴDzԲ�����’s. That same year, Insta-Burger King brought on a new business partner and shortened its name to Burger King. The chain might not have reached �ѳ��ٴDzԲ�����’s status, but it certainly locked itself down as a competitor.

3. Starbucks
Starbucks�� first location will have a familiar ring to any coffee lover: Pike Place Market, the namesake of its famous coffee blend. The chain spent seven years at one spot in the Seattle market before moving to another spot in 1977, but that “new�� spot still pays homage to its roots. Like other brands, Starbucks has tweaked its logo over the years, but at Pike Place, you can still spot its original brown logo.

4. Kentucky Fried Chicken
Ironically, KFC didn’t get its start in Kentucky—it first opened its doors in Salt Lake City, Utah. Colonel Harland Sanders (yes, he’s real) was passing through and dropped in on the Harman Café’s owner, whom he’d met at a restaurant convention the year before. The Kentucky-based Colonel asked to put his chicken recipe on the Harman menu, and the owner agreed. The restaurant’s Kentucky-fried chicken was a hit, and the rest is history. The original building was torn down, but the location still has a Harman Café sign and keeps memorabilia inside.

The original Pizza Hut wasn’t exactly a hut, but it was certainly no mansion. In 1958, founders (and brothers) Dan and Frank Carney were students at Wichita State University. When a local landlady suggested they turn the beer joint on her property into a pizza shop, the Carneys took her up on the offer. Their sign for the 500-square-foot brick building only had room for eight letters, and five of those had to be p-i-z-z-a—so they went with “hut.�� After the brothers outgrew that tiny kitchen, the building was moved to the WSU campus, where it’s now been converted to a Pizza Hut museum.

Ells and his father calculated that the store would need to sell 107 burritos per day to be profitable. After one month, the original restaurant was selling over 1,000 burritos a day.

The original Pizza Hut wasn’t exactly a hut, but it was certainly no mansion. In 1958, founders (and brothers) Dan and Frank Carney were students at Wichita State University. When a local landlady suggested they turn the beer joint on her property into a pizza shop, the Carneys took her up on the offer. Their sign for the 500-square-foot brick building only had room for eight letters, and five of those had to be p-i-z-z-a—so they went with “hut.�� After the brothers outgrew that tiny kitchen, the building was moved to the WSU campus, where it’s now been converted to a Pizza Hut museum.

6. Dunkin�� Donuts
In 1950, mom-and-pop doughnut shop Open Kettle changed its name to Dunkin�� Donuts—and started a revolution. Back then, you’d put a dime down for a cup of coffee and only get two choices: regular or decaf. The original location in Quincy, Massachusetts, got a makeover in 2011 taking it back to its retro roots.

Ells and his father calculated that the store would need to sell 107 burritos per day to be profitable. After one month, the original restaurant was selling over 1,000 burritos a day.
