I recently saw a picture of an old Steak ‘n Shake restaurant. It reminded me of when my grandparents used to take me to Steak ‘n Shake every Sunday for lunch. As a kid, I loved their slogan, which was a rhyme: “In Sight, It Must Be Right.” The slogan originated from the restaurant’s founder, Gus Belt, who would bring a barrel of steaks into the restaurant and grind them into burgers in front of the customers.
