Gone are its glittering towers of sterno in Chicago, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, Indianapolis, Maui, Gurnee, Ill., and Costa Mesa, Calif.; the chain will also upgrade several of its 70-plus remaining restaurants worldwide and revamp its menus, according to CEO Robert Earl. (No more Ramburgers?) The chain is digging deep for the extra cash ? its two largest shareholders and a trust for Earl's own children have agreed...
