Once upon a time, in downtown Duluth, MN, there was a venerable institution called &#8221; Mr. Nick&#8217;s Burger King&#8221; &#8211; (Home of the famous Char-burger).   Nick&#8217;s operated for years, with that name, until an upstart franchise burger joint who currently has a very scary &#8220;king&#8221; character as a mascot comes along and wants to open in Duluth.   They negotiate with the Mr. Nick&#8217;s family, and eventually, a compromise was reached (the details were secret-like), and Mr. Nick&#8217;s dropped the &#8220;Burger King&#8221;  name, and a couple or six BK restaurants opened in Duluth, and the Mr. Nick&#8217;s family was somehow involved with those.

Intrepid Minnesota burger reporter Kawikamedia stopped in and reports that the rings aren&#8217;t as he remembers, and the secret sauce is a catsup reduction with herbs and spices.
