What was the name of the ww cousins rival on Hurstbourne?

Sorry to be chasing trivia, but we cannot come up with the name of the hamburger joint that used to be in the Longhorn's Steakhouse building off Hurstbourne Parkway. I don't know if it was a national chain, but they did the same thing as W.W. Cousins, hung meat behind glass and baked buns on premises. Little help?

I don't remember, but could it have been Fudruckers?

I don't think so ... I don't believe Fuddrucker's has ever had a property in Louisville, although as I understand it, the original W.W. Cousin's was based on the Fuddrucker's model and started by two guys who had formerly worked for the chain.

I remember the steakhouse on Hurstbourne but am blanking on the name. I hope someone will remember!

As you may know, by the way, Cousin's no longer hangs the beef for public inspection. I think about as many people were grossed out by it as liked it.

I think it was Flakey Jakes.

Carol for the win!

I don't remember anything being where Longhorn is presently located on Hurstborne. If I remember correctly that whole section where they are now located was buildt new about 5 or 6 years ago. Did there use to be a different Longhorn on Hurstborne?

I thought Flakey Jake's was on Bardstown Rd at Hurstbourne, I think the building became a Bojangles afterward?

Actually, the building is where Lone Star is located, my mistake. Flakey Jakes definitely does not ring a bell.

It was Flakey Jakes that was located where Lone Star currently is on Hurstbourne. We used to go there after every little league game.

It was a "make your own burger" place. The first in town if I recall correctly, as it predated WW Cousins by several years.

To my knowledge, we've never had a Fudruckers in The Ville.

We are sure it was Flakey Jake's. We lived off Hurstborne in the mid 80s and frequented it. Also, my husband was a shareholder when the company bellied up so one doesn't tend to forget these things!!!

Thanks to all for the info, never could have come up with that without your help.
