CLOQUET, Minn. — Gordon Lundquist, the owner of the well-known burger joint Gordy's Hi-Hat, has died, according to a post on the restaurant's social media page.
According to the post, Lundquist died Tuesday at his home. He was 93.
"Gordy was a wonderful father, grandfather, and great grandfather," the Facebook post reads. "He took tremendous pride in his work, and all of his employees throughout the years."
Gordy's Hi-Hat, located in Cloquet, Minnesota, was a popular pitstop for anyone traveling around the Duluth area. Known for its burgers, the restaurant was featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri.
"He was infectious with everybody around him," Gordy's grandson Sever Lundquist told KBJR, an NBC affiliate out of Duluth. "You could tell that with just our customers and our employees over years. That he has left a lasting impression of nothing but good times, good attitude and hard work ethic."
