First, let's start with the important stuff: Steak 'n Shake is open 24 hours-a-day. That means no matter how tired, how drunk or how wired you are, you can count on some hash browns, a bowl of chili and a milkshake. Now, here's some other stuff you might find interesting...

Steak 'n Shake was founded in 1934 in Normal, Illinois by Gus Belt, a restauranteur who owned a restaurant/gas station called Shell's Chicken. Central Illinois had plenty of chicken and beer restaurants so Gus soon realized he needed to be unique and different.

The Steak stood for Steakburger. Gus would wait for the busiest time in his counter only restaurant, wheel in a barrel of steaks (including round steak, sirloin steak, and T-bones) and ground the steaks into burgers right in front of the customers. Hence, the origin of the famous slogan "In Sight It Must Be Right."

Steak 'n Shake still blazes up their grub in sight and serves it up on china, giving the otherwise fast food joint a decidedly restaurant feel.
