Actually, it is more likely that Steak 'n Shake uses Cheez Whiz, at least on its cheddar fries, which may just be the worst thing any chain offers on its menu. Except maybe the McRib. We had a nice dialogue here about Steak 'n Shake several months ago. The original is in Normal, Illinois. There are 43 in the St. Louis area. Several where I live now, too. None, at least to my knowledge, south of the 37th parallel. I thought it was Hardees who sold a Frisco burger. It's called a Frisco burger because they use sourdough bread. Maybe Rice a Roni's mixed in with the ground beef too.

Steak 'n' Shake started in Bloomington, Illinois back in the 50's. A gas station and grill that dropped the gas and went to a grill. Great burgers!! Now owned by Consolidated Products. Small fries are all a normal person can handle but they are the best. Yes, you can get cheese on the fries but Velveeta has never come from a can. The Friscomelt is two whole beef [sirloin, T-bone, round steak] patties on sourdough toast, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato and a dollop of 1000 Island dressing. In my youth there were two Steak 'n' Shakes a few miles apart and they were both drive-ins. The term for a drive-in was gag and driving back and forth was called tooling the gags which was done endlessly on Friday and Saturday nights. Two bucks of gas in mama's car and we had several hours of aimless entertainment. The usual comment at the end of the night was "we almost got laid". Translated- we saw a car with a couple of girls going the other way twice.
