Restaurants have been around in some form for most of human
civilization. However, they usually catered to travelers. As far back
as ancient Greece and Rome, inns and taverns generally served
food to people who had a reason to be away from home. This
trend continued until relatively recently. Although taverns and
coffee houses were popular places to gather and share beverages
in the 17th century, the idea of eating out for fun didn't take off
in Western society until the late 18th century.

Although McDonald's was the first
restaurant to use the assembly-line system,
some people think of White Castle as the
first fast-food chain. White Castle was
founded in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas. At the
time, most people considered the burgers
sold at fairs, circuses, lunch counters, and
carts to be low-quality. Many people
thought hamburgers came from
slaughterhouse scraps and spoiled meat.

White Castle's founders decided to change the public's
perception of hamburgers. They built their restaurants so that
customers could see the food being prepared. They painted the
buildings white and even chose a name that suggested
cleanliness. White Castle was most popular in the American East
and Midwest, but its success helped give hamburger meat a
better reputation nationwide. So, like cars, White Castle played an
important part in the development of fast food.

The McDonald brothers opened their redesigned restaurant in
1948, and several fast-food chains that exist today opened soon
after. Burger King and Taco Bell got their start in the 1950s, and
Wendy's opened in 1969. Some chains, like Carl's Jr., KFC, and
Jack in the Box, existed before the Speedee Service System but
modified their cooking techniques after its debut. McDonald's,
which started it all, is now the world's largest fast-food chain.
• Burger King and Taco Bell got their start in the 1950s.: 1950년대에 시

• The Speedee Service System: 맥도날드 형제가 1948년에 음식을 빨리
서비스하기 위해 내 놓은 서비스 시스템. 이것이 fast food의 기원이 됨.
