Burger Chef Sani-Broiler B-150-12 Operation
Page from Sani-Broiler manual for the model used at Burger Chef in the 1960s. The broiler was manufactured by the Sani-Serv division of Burger Chef, which manufactured all the equipment for Burger Chef restaurants and also sold to the restaurant trade. The Model B-85-G mentioned was an earlier lower capacity model used in early Burger Chef locations and still sold to the trade at this time.
While most hamburger chains cooked thier burgers on a griddle, Burger Chef's open-flame broiling provided a better flavor.
Some people confuse Burger Chef and Burger King and there was a slight connection. Sani-Serv founded the Burger Chef chain after being contacted by the founders of Burger King to manufacture their flame broiler. Sani-Serv then came up with a totally new, more efficient design. They opened a demonstration store to show potential clients the broiler, and other Sani-Serv food production equipment like the Sani-Shake milk shake machine. The food was so good they developed a following and then decided to go into the fast food business, which gave birth to Burger Chef.
