It was the Rajah, the original restaurant at that location. After little league games at Bagley Park I would make my parents take me there to have a Rajah Burger. It was a triple and had the same special sauce as a Big Mac. The Varsity loved the location and made an offer they couldn't refuse.

I went to school with Doug "Duffy" Muir, the dad of the current owner that is in the video. The old man put him to work behind the counter at the downtown Varsity and he decided he would finish his accounting major instead :-)

I didn't go to the Pickrick downtown but I did go to his one in Sandy Springs in the 70's. GREAT fried chicken while you listened to Lester play the piano.

The Pickrick name came from "Pick" meant to discern the best food and "Rick" meant to rack it up on your plate.

The Atlanta Constipation started the story that there were ax handles in the restaurant downtown but they were actually smaller "pick" handles autographed by Lester that were a memento of the PICKrick and had nothing to do with attacking protesting blacks. That was all a lie and intended to sell papers.

Now you know the REST of the story.
