'''Krusty Burger''' is a fast-food burger restaurant chain that was founded in [[Springfield]]. It's known to use a variety of animal meats in it, without any of them being what one would normally eat. Including zoo animals, road kill and insects. [[Fat Tony]] has a deal with [[Krusty]] to keep [[McDonald's]] and Burger King out of town so Krusty Burger is the only fast food chain in Springfield.

During the Summer of 1984, Krusty Burger launched a promotion that gave free burgers to those who pick Olympic Events won by the United States on their game cards. The games involved in the promotion were games that were traditionally won by the Russians.

It has frequently been 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!" At one time, Krusty bit a Ribwich and said, "Mmm, I don't mind the taste!" In The Simpsons Movie, when filming a commercial for 'the clogger', he spits out the sandwich after they stop filming and throws the rest of it away, this might be because he's Jewish.

Location Information

Abraham Simpson[1]
First appearance: "Old Money"

Krusty Burger is a fast-food burger restaurant chain that was founded in Springfield by Krusty the Clown, star of The Krusty the Clown 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.

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.[2]

History[edit]

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.[3]

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.[4]

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.[5]

The restaurants are also known for cost cutting measures, such as using discount books for booster seats.[6]

Marketing[edit]

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!".

It has frequently been 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!" At one time, Krusty bit a Ribwich and said, "Mmm, I don't mind the taste!" When filming a commercial for The Clogger, he spits out the sandwich after they stop filming and throws the rest of it away, this might be because he's Jewish.[7] One of their most popular burgers was the Ribwich, which was only around for a limited time. Homer once joined a group that tours the Krusty Burgers that sell the Ribwich.

Locations[edit]

Krusty Burger operates in thousands of locations across the United States including an unprofitable franchise on an unmanned off-shore oil platform. A Krusty Burger was seen in the city of Paris, France.[8] There was formerly a Krusty Burger on Fast-Food Boulevard in Springfield, but it was destroyed along with the entire district due to a chain-reaction explosion caused by Homer Simpson's careless disposal of a leaky car battery. Homer tossed the battery into the Krusty Burger's trash bin, and acid leaked from the battery and into the ground, where it ate into a gas main, creating a leak. After that, Homer threw a lit match into the bin, igniting the gas and spawning a chain of explosions.[9]
