Biglari destroyed Steak and Shake
Apparently, he understands the oil business just as well as he does, the fast food business.
Before you know it, Steak ‘N Shake will move from beef tallow to crude oil.
They should have consulted Billy Bob Thornton (TV Show “Landman” reference) about how the oil game works.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy

Agreed. Biglari was such a self-serving hypocrite blasting Cracker Barrel for eliminating its traditional features when he had done the same to Steak n’ Steak, including eliminating table service with impersonal order screens, dropping items off the menu, and serving shakes in styrofoam cups instead of glass.
What ever happened to the bar he wanted to open on the roof of the Steak and Shake building?
I was looking forward to the SarBar.
