Hardee's founder, N.C. native, dead at 89
Wilbur Hardee, founder of the Hardee's chain of burger joints, is dead at 89.
That's a good, long ride for an American male. Which, I presume, means he didn't spend a lot of those 89 years eating at Hardee's.

Isn't this the third fast-food founder to kick it in just a few months?

Well, there was the guy who invented the egg McMuffin -- but I don't think he actually founded any restaurants. Who are the others?
