How A Random Burger King In Pittsburgh Went Rogue

From the U-K's "Dominic's Pizza" to Iran's "Pizza Hat" to China's "7-12", knock off fast food places are far more common than most Americans realize. But the strange Burger King that briefly existed on the south side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania wasn't just an imitation with a deceptively similar name, it was an outright counterfeit.
