| − | ==History==
| + | '''Krusty Burger''' is a fast-food burger restaurant chain that was founded in [[Springfield]] by [[Krusty the Clown]], star of ''{{Krusty show}}'', who also serves as the chain's mascot. It's known to use a variety of animal meats in it, without any of them being what one would normally eat, including exotic animals, roadkill, reptiles and insects. |
| − | During the years of the Simpsons, and still today, Krusty Burger has been the place to eat at. If you ask Homer, it is the only fast-food place in the world. It is a wonderful place to get the All-American Krusty Burger, and also Krusty's new and improved... that's right new and improved, Buzz Cola. Along with the hit TV show, The Simpsons, Krusty Burger has been shown on Simpson Marathons and also Simpson games such as Simpsons Road Rage, Simpsons Hit and Run, and also, The Simpsons Game. It has even stared in the movie, The Simpsons Movie. Krusty Burger has made Simpsons history, that's for sure, and will keep building its history. They will even have one in the new amusement park, Krusty Land, which will be shown in the featued ride, The Simpsons Ride, at Universal Studios. Krusty has stated to the media the... "This will be the park of my dreams (sarcastically)... NOT!!! Do you think I'm like Walt Disney or that guy that made Universal Studios? NOOOOOO!!!" After this, Krusty had gotten himself into a fight, later was arrested, taken out of jail by his rabbi father, and then thrown back out on the streets. Life will be at ease when you go to Krusty Burger, so... GO NOW!!!

| − | ==Similarities and Differences from McDonalds==
| |
| − | The promotional face of Krusty Burger is [[Krusty the Clown]]. It seems to be the only fast food chain in [[Springfield]]. There is no McDonald's in Springfield, although it is mentioned that there is one in [[Shelbyville]]. In the later seasons, it is revealed that Krusty paid off the mafia to keep out all other fast food competitors such as Wendy's, Burger King and McDonald's, though an [[In & Out Burger]] was seen in Springfield on one episode, as [[Gulp 'N Blow]], [[The Taco Hut]], [[Shakespeare's Fried Chicken]] and [[Kentucky Fried Panda]].

| − | ==Marketing==
| + | Krusty has a deal with the [[Springfield Mafia]] to keep [[McDonald's]] and [[Burger King]] out of Springfield to ensure that Krusty Burger has no competition. There are 27 Krusty Burgers in [[Springfield]].<ref>''[[The Krusty Book]]''</ref> |
| − | Krusty also appears to have some input into running the company, personally losing $44 million when a promotional tie-in, in which Krusty Burger was chosen the Official Meat-Flavored Sandwich of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, backfired due to a Soviet boycott, and Krusty Burger was forced to give away much more food than expected; Krusty expressed his displeasure by stating on live television that "I, personally am gonna spit into every fiftieth burger!" The series has frequently established that Krusty is not particularly fond of the food served, shown when recording a commercial (immediately before learning of his $44 million dollar loss), he said, "Ewww! I almost swallowed some of the juice!" A similar thing happens when Krusty is filming a commercial during the Simpsons Movie. He takes a bite and exclaims, "MMMM!" When the filming ends, Krusty grimaces and spits his sandwich out. | |
| − | In "[[I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can]]", Krusty bit a Ribwich and said, "Mmm, I don't mind the taste!"

| − | ==Menu==
| + | During [[1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics]], Krusty Burger launched a promotion that gave free burgers to those who pick events won by the [[United States]] on their game cards. The games involved in the promotion were games that were traditionally won by communist countries. Unfortunately for Krusty, the Eastern Bloc boycotted the Olympics, and the United States won almost every event, costing him $44 million. He then vows on camera to spit on every fiftieth burger as a result of his loss.<ref>"[[Lisa's First Word]]"</ref> |
| − | [[Image:simpsons movie trailer 3.png|thumb|left|300px|A naked [[Bart Simpson]] hits the window of [[Krusty Burger]], where [[Ned Flanders|Ned]], [[Rod Flanders|Rod]] and [[Todd Flanders]] sit eating hamburgers and french fries. From the February 18, 2007 trailer of ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''.]] | |
| − | Menu items at the restaurant have included the staple [[Krusty Burger]], the limited-time-only [[Ribwich]], the [[Krusty Burger with Cheese]] and [[Krusty Partially Gelatinated Non-Dairy Gum-Based Beverages]], which according to [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]], are similar to Quarter Pounders with Cheese and milkshakes at McDonald's, respectively. In ''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]'', Krusty Burger does not seem to have fries, but instead has Fried-for-hours Potato Eyes. Other items are the Salad-on-a-stik and Weenie-on-a-cloud (hot dog and cotton candy respectively). To have a Krusty Burger with a bun and napkin you must pay extra.

| − | In addition to serving burgers that are extremely high in fat content the company is guilty of terrible food safety breaches. The burgers are made from insects and pieces of partially eaten burgers held together with staples. Krusty even once tried to defend his practices by stating, "I want to clear up a misconception about the Whatchamacarcass sandwich; I used NON-diseased meat from diseased animals!" In one episode, Krusty is even briefly shown leading zoo animals into a Krusty Burger for processing. As result of their actions, several animals are now extinct and therefore items such as the [[Ribwich]] (made from a small multi-legged animal) have to be withdrawn. However, the company pays bribes to [[Mayor Quimby]] in exchange for protection from food safety officials. It is worth noting that the Krusty Burger is referred to as a "meat-flavored sandwich", most likely to avoid charges of false advertising. The ''Simpsons Guide to Springfield'' states that scientific tests on the burgers' composition have proven inconclusive, and warns non-Springfielders to avoid eating the burgers, as the local population has seemingly "developed a resistance to the burgers' inherent bacteria and spirochetes."
| + | One time, when [[Homer]] and [[Bart]] were trying to work as grease vendors, Homer decided after learning that the job's pay was far below what he expected, to rob a Krusty Burger of its grease and started shoveling the grease into Marge's car. Later, the Grease was stolen from them by the Acne Shovel and Grease Co.<ref>"[[Lard of the Dance]]"</ref> |

| − | Upon visiting Krusty Burger, former American President George H. W. Bush discovered that they do not serve stew.
| + | After the restaurant was proclaimed the "unhealthiest restaurant in the world", Krusty decided that the restaurant should serve the "[[Mother Nature Burger]]", a vegetarian burger. Later, it turns out that the burger was made with tainted barley produced from [[Ogdenville]] because of a rat that got ran over and got all over the wheat for the bun., and anyone who consumed the burger received food poisoning.<ref>"[[Coming to Homerica]]"</ref> |

He then proceeded to beg the audience stating that he was behind on seven alimony payments and wearing paper bags for shoes. The Burger King mascot then appeared and offered Krusty a Whopper. Krusty then punched him and told the audience again to not buy the Whopper. The Burger King mascot then rose up and knocked Krusty unconscious. |
