Burger Chain Installs ‘Tallest and Biggest’ American Flags at Restaurants Nationwide

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to prosecute people desecrating the American flag.

Fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake has started installing large American flags at its outlets across the country, the company said in an Oct. 5 post on X.

“The flag installations have begun at Steak n Shake,” the company said. “Every Steak n Shake is getting the tallest and biggest American flag that local governments will allow! Steak n Shake proudly supports American values and traditions.”

The post went viral, garnering 6.4 million views and nearly 200,000 likes as of 7:19 a.m. ET on Monday.

“I’m ordering from there tomorrow!” billionaire Elon Musk said in a reply to the post.

Steak ‘n Shake, based in Indiana, employs more than 10,000 people according to LinkedIn. As of August, there were 397 Steak ‘n Shake restaurants across 24 states and territories in the United States, according to an Aug. 20 report by data company ScrapeHero.

Steak ‘n Shake’s announcement comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Aug. 25 directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute people caught burning the flag or desecrating it in other ways.

“Our great American Flag is the most sacred and cherished symbol of the United States of America, and of American freedom, identity, and strength. Over nearly two-and-a-half centuries, many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled, and died to keep the Stars and Stripes waving proudly,” the order said.

Burning the national flag is a “statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against our Nation—the clearest possible expression of opposition to the political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot,” it said.

Bondi was instructed to pursue charges in line with the provisions of the First Amendment.

Burning the U.S. flag was a form of political protest that became prevalent during the Vietnam War. Subsequently, the Flag Protection Act of 1968 was passed, which banned burning and defiling the flag.

The Supreme Court overturned the law in 1989, declaring that desecration of the American flag is protected under the First Amendment.
