Background

The company began with a single cafeteria in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1950, founded by Charles O. McGaughey and George Laughner. MCL is an abbreviation of their two names.[1] Today, the chain operates locations in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. It is a privately owned company, now exclusively owned by the McGaughey family. In 2007, MCL Cafeterias changed their brand to "MCL Restaurant and Bakery," although no fundamental changes have been made in production.[2] They competed with Laughner's Cafeteria, which was founded by a cousin.

gollark: (Yes, I am jealous)
gollark: I hope that one day overkill computers like yours will be small enough to carry around in your pocket and stupidly cheap.
gollark: ~~run nested VMs until it runs out of RAM or something~~
