A sign that used to be on Williamson road 
to tease the taste buds and please the wallet

Here's a fast-food burger chain that I essentially I grew up with during my time in the great state of Virginia. It was around and thriving in the '60s and '70s. It had 50 locations and as was customary at the time every location was a mirror image of the other ones. Unlike today where you find McDonald's, Taco Bell and many others have a different look depending on their location and theme that they are striving for in the area.

Although there is only one original Kenny's Burger still standing at             

Kenny Burger 635 Waddell Street Lexington, Virginia 24450 

The Kenny burger was different and delicious because of its special sauce. You can find the recipe at:

I know the ingredients sound strange but just try it. 


Kenny's Burger's began as Biff-Burger in 1958 and was owned by William Bill Kenny. The name was changed as the chain grew and the new name caught on quickly.


Then along came Ray Kroc and the now omnipresent McDonald's. McDonald's with a more efficient workflow to serve faster orders and more ingredients to make a much tastier burger. Not to mention other food changes that started a wave of customers that couldn't get enough Micky Dee's and Kenny's Burger's that could not see enough, customers that is, with empty bellies and full wallets.   


Having been in the fast-food restaurant business and can vouch for the fact that it is one of the, if not the toughest, businesses to succeed in all I can say right now is.....

I WANT A KENNY BURGER!!
