Answer 1

I do, and can still show you some locations where the buildings (now remodeled) are still standing!

I also remember the silly Burger Chef and Jeff television commercials.

Answer 2

Yes, I remember them. I don't know what ever happened to them.
In 1954, Frank and Donald Thomas patented the Flame Broiler and started one of their own restaurants in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was under another name, but in 1956, they changed the name to Burger Chef. In the late-1950s, they created the first "value combos" as a burger, fries, and soft drink for 45¢ (50¢ with a milkshake). Burger Chef was enormously popular and spread across both West Coast and East Coast, eventually becoming second only to McDonald's in terms of number of locations. They offered a signature double burger called the Big Shef (the company quirkily spelled their burgers with an "S"), and later pioneered the "works bar", where customers could dress their burgers exactly as they wanted.

In 1968, the chain was purchased by the General Foods Corporation, who continued its rapid expansion. By 1970, they had nearly 2,400 locations and re-designed the buildings and logos. However, the corporation soon proved unable (or unwilling) to support the company's growth.
Ahhh they are Hardee's now!!!
