Bad response when examining the restaurant at Aquarium & Park #39

Aquarium & Park
South of this intersection, Park Street descends into a tunnel under Halley
Park. The Aquarium can be entered on the southeast corner, and a skycar service
center occupies the northwest corner. To the southwest is a large car lot, and
to the northeast, amidst a small car lot, is a fast food restaurant.

The object#384 looks like a typical fast-food place.

It's printed by RESTAURANT-OBJECT-F:

              (<EQUAL? ,HERE ,AQUARIUM-AND-PARK>
               <TELL "The ">
               <PRINTD ,BURGER-MEISTER>
               <TELL " looks like a typical fast-food place." CR>)

According to the ZIL manual, PRINTD prints the DESC property, and BURGER-MEISTER doesn't have one. It does have an SDESC property, but that one isn't set until you enter the restaurant so that's no good either.

We may have to print the name manually here, either "Burgerworld" or "Burger Meister" depending on the year.

Just a note that "object#384" is how Frotz prints the object. Other interpreters may print it differently.
