George, over at Fat Pitch Financials has done the most extensive work on the Western Sizzlin (WEST) to date. I suggest you read his reasoning for buying it here and here.
Regarding Bilgari and Steak n’ Shake, George addresses that in his most recent post on the subject.
Biglari has done some very interesting things at Western and his action are worth a closer look. I am going to look closer at this in the future.

Hi Todd! Glad to see you are also taking an interest in Western Sizzlin. I’m a bit surprised Western Sizzlin’s volume is still so low even though it is now listed on the NASDAQ. Hopefully the SNS and ITEX deals will come together soon.
Todd-
Read through his letters to investors of Western Sizzlin for the last few years, and his letters to Steak n Shake shareholders. You’ll love the things he says- capital allocation decisions, return on capital, profitable growth, discipline, etc. All the hallmarks of a terrific investor.
plan to…..
Another successful deal for Sardar Biglari.
