No clue...but as a kid I remembered this one while visiting family...I'm sure a few of you know it..

 
Can't say I remember that one. One that I fondly remember growing up was Kings Food Host. Used to love ordering the food by picking up the phone at the table! Ah Memories...

I vaguely remember the "Chese Frenchies" . Seems like they were cheese sanguiches cut in wedges, then deep fried with chicken batter?

Is that the burger joint that used to be at Cornhusker and Adams? If so, that was a heck of a great place to eat.

 
We just called it King's. I vaguely remember it being called King's Food Host. I never tried the Cheese Frenchie, but they had some really great fries and malts, I recall.

 
Kings had the best chili, cheese frenchies and milk shakes. Throw in some Miller and Paine cinnamon rolls and mac n' cheese and I would be the happiest man alive, before dying of congestive heart failure.

Isn't King's part of some Amigo's restaurants?

Amigos bought the rights to the King's name...what they have is nothing like the food that King's had though. I hate to sound grumpy, but really, it's embarrassing that they call it King's classic. For that matter Runza bought the Miller & Paine name and surprise, nothing like the cinnamon rolls they had! I was only like 5-6 years old and still have that wondrous taste etched in the ol' memory bank.

 
I remember going to Lincoln in the late '60's as a 7? year old to visit my Big Sister while she was in college...Seems like we either went to KFC or Kings at least once each time..After reading and remembering about the Chese Frenchees..I'm thinking about getting a deep fat fryer and seeing if I can create the same magic for my 10 year old Son.
