Anyone remember when BK experimented with table service? You'd order at the counter and then get a number to set on the table so someone could bring your food out. They had popcorn machines so customers could munch on something while waiting for their food. This would've been mid to late- 1990s.
Also, last thought on BK for now. Anyone who grew up in Brentwood probably loved BK because it was our only fast food restaurant for many years (not counting Wendy's which is technically in Nashville). Brentwood actually prohibited drive-thru (fast food places) for many years but they bent the rule to allow a D'Lights, which was considered not fast food because they served light beer and wine coolers. D'Lights went out of business and BK got the lease. It was several years later when McD's and Taco Bell opened in Maryland Farms. Cool Springs was still farms at this point.
