I honestly thought that was just an exaggerated joke said around the boards for several years. It's just seems to asinine to be true. Is it even possible for someone as wealthy as Mike Brown to be white trashy enough to conduct business meetings at a fast food restaurant?

When, with whom, and (most importantly) why did this take place? 

"Add to that the epic tales of the franchise’s miserliness—charging players for breakfast at the stadium; taking agents out to lunch at Wendy’s when negotiating player contracts; providing such low-quality locker room towels that in the mid-’90s, running back Ki-Jana Carter paid out of his own pocket to replace the team linens—and limited charitable involvement in the community."

"The legend of Mike Brown’s deep frugality goes beyond the stingy contract negotiations and flying free agents in on coach."

Yes. Mike Brown has seriously taken agents to Wendy's to try and negotiate contracts.
