This is understandable but still a shame :
Indianapolis-based Steak 'n Shake, a favorite of the late-night crowd and an Indiana institution, faces a shaky financial future.
Some stockholders hope to push the struggling restaurant chain in a new direction, but experts say that might not be enough to save it, 6News' Ray Cortopassi reported.
Steak 'n Shake has always been one of my favorite places, partly because of the steakburgers and side dishes but also because it's a fast-food restaurant with table service and a wait staff. But as the story notes, what makes it unique is part of what endangers it -- having all those extra people makes it more expensive to operate.
