\"\"<\/a>OK, follow the bouncing ball, as this story can be confusing! Once upon a time, in downtown Duluth, MN, there was a venerable institution called \u201d Mr. Nick\u2019s Burger King\u201d \u2013 (Home of the famous Char-burger). Nick\u2019s operated for years, with that name, until an upstart franchise burger joint who currently has a very scary \u201cking\u201d character as a mascot comes along and wants to open in Duluth. They negotiate with the Mr. Nick\u2019s family, and eventually, a compromise was reached (the details were as secret-like as a burger joint’s secret sauce), and Mr. Nick\u2019s dropped the \u201cBurger King\u201d name, and a couple or six BK restaurants opened in Duluth, and the Mr. Nick\u2019s family was somehow involved with those. (Please don\u2019t trouble me for the facts, I am off my meds and it\u2019s hard enough to concentrate \u2013 LOL).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, once a year, the family that operated Nick’s, dusts off their burger and onion ring recipe to benefit Twelve Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox, raising money to send local kids to camp, and for other youth activities. This event occurred yesterday in Duluth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a mere $10, you got a taste of nostalgia via a Mr. Nick’s Burger, Rings, and a drink, and take-outs were allowed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota Burger Reporter Kawikamedia covered the event and said a good time was had by all. Photo credits to Kawikamedia, except exterior b\/w of Mr. Nick’s restaurant found online, but uncredited.\u00a0 (“Little” Nick at the grill;\u00a0 Charburger and Onion Rings).<\/strong><\/p>\n
