The Burger King

On this episode of Our American, there is no Burger King in Mattoon, Illinois. There isn’t even a Burger King within 20 miles of the small town. The reason? A small burger joint known as the Burger King took the national brand to court... and won. Chris Suerdieck, a curator at the Mattoon History Center, shares the story.
