Review “We at Druther’s anxiously await our copies of Sef’s book in the mail. Sef was the only writer to reach out to our company regarding the history of Burger Queen, Huckleberry’s and Druther’s, as well as our company’s relationship with the Dairy Queen brand. He also respected the unique story of the last Druther’s Restaurant in the world, owned by our friend Steve McCarty, in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Sef’s pursuit of the real story, along with the way he writes about the histories of these storied American restaurants and companies, truly conveys the respect and love he has for the subject.”―Bob Gatewood and Brian Easley, President & Vice President at Druther’s“With All about the Burger, the Beast has created―most fittingly―a thing of beauty.
