VIKINGS LORE: When Spanky's first opened we offered a one-pound burger. Less than two weeks after we opened, two customers (Mark & Brian Zeiber) each requested and finished two of our one pound burgers each. As a 'joke' we added a two pound burger (AKA The Mad Viking) to our menu. The joke is on us, over 5,000 Vikings have been finished!!!!
REPRESENT YOUR STATE: If you finish a Viking your score is added to your state's total. In the early years we recognized the top state at the end of the year, then we expanded to the top 5 states and then we expanded to the top 10 states. Who will finish in the top 10 for 2024???
HOW MANY COUNTRIES: Counting the USA, we have fourteen countries represented.
