WHAT DOES DRUTHERS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Druther's

Druther's is a restaurant, formerly a chain of fast food restaurants that began as Burger Queen restaurants in 1963. They operated through until the year 1981. The name was a play on the word druthers, and their mascot was a giant female bee named Queenie Bee. In 1981, Burger Queen changed to Druther's restaurants, although the changes were mostly cosmetic. One reason given for the name change was to eliminate the perception that they were "just burgers", when they also had fried chicken and a serve-yourself salad bar. Druther's featured a character named "Andy Dandytale" on their kids meal items. Their slogan was "I'd Ruther Go to Druther's."...
