There are a lot of hamburger joints across the U.S. that have random (and weird) claims to fame. For example, two restaurants in Memphis come to mind. First, there's Huey's.

That's when the restaurant's owner, Thomas Boggs, got a crutch from a friend and used it to fill a hole in the ceiling at the Midtown location. Now, every single Huey's location has its own crutch.

On the graphic, just off the south and west, was the word "Kentucky." Now, I'm a Kentucky (the state, not the town) native and, until I saw that map, I had no idea there was a Kentucky, Arkansas.
