But Spangles? Spangles is weird, man, in a good way, honestly, but when you roll up to one of its thirty-ish locations, some of them looking like gargantuan juke boxes gone missing from a garish, vaguely seamy '50s diner, it can take a few minutes to sort out just exactly what is going on. Most people like Freddy’s, and it’s easy to understand why others are nostalgic for Nu-Way. There’s Nu-Way, a historic chainlet where you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time, at least by forty, 50 years, and then there's Freddy’s, now well-known across the country for smashburgers and frozen custard. Wichita’s accomplishments are vast and varied, but one of the most interesting things the city has done over the years is give rise to - and then sustain - three very different, all quite successful burger chains.
