History

The first Happy Chef Restaurant opened in 1963 in Mankato, Minnesota, and still operates today as the only location. At one time, the chain had 57 restaurants in the midwest.[1] However, consumer tastes shifted in the 1980s towards restaurants offering alcohol and multiple televisions, leaving a single restaurant in operation as of 2015.[2]

Other Concepts

Another concept operated by Happy Chef was Ruttles 50s Bar & Grill Restaurants.[3]

gollark: I thought they mostly used SAS disks?
gollark: We didn't do any mathy stuff beyond, what, square roots?
gollark: We did magnets a bit, but like most of the GCSE stuff it was very lacking in maths and anything and more just, er, qualitative stuff.
