Iconic fast-food chain closed 100s of restaurants, won’t die
The chain once had over 800 restaurants, and it did file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but that was back in 1982.

A one-time mighty and national fast-food chain seems a lot like the famous Monty Python Black Knight. The Knight, who appeared in the iconic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," downplays his injuries as he gets hacked to pieces.
Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch.
Arthur: A scratch? Your arm's off!
Black Knight: No, it isn't.
Arthur: Well, what's that then?
Black Knight: I've had worse.
Arthur: You liar!
It continues like this for a while until the Black Knight has lost both his arms and both his legs before telling Arthur,"All right; we'll call it a draw."
As Arthur leaves, the Knight is outraged and calls after him.
