I'll take a Kingburger with Chili and Cheese, Fries and a big old soda. We used to hit 'em up after partying. Tommy's Burgers too.

STOP....sounds sooo good. We don't have Fatburgers here. Smashburgers (not impressed) I got a veggie burger there and it was like mashed potatoes. No pattie. You took a bit and it all squished out. Not that good either. Moocha's or something like that has a good veggie burger.

The words 'veggie' and 'burger' should not be used consecutively.

I more dream about these delectables than I do indulge in them but every now and then I just go for it.

Oddly enough, the last Fatburger I was at was in Vegas. Texas Station food court. Had a Dairy Queen too. Never made it that far. :biggrin:

Fatburger is international now, but started as a local hamburger stand in LA after WWII as "Mr. Fatburger", then Lovie Yancey (?) dropped the prefix a few years later, and the rest is gastronomic history.
After enough people liked it, they started expanding and franchising. Fairly true to the original, but the economies of scale and market have noticeably morphed it. Fatburger hung tough until the late 70's/early 80's IIRC w/ a manageable number of locations, then as the expansion grew, the uniqueness faded and more uniformity has prevailed. Still a burger that should be tried by burger eaters.

It was also Fred Sanford's favorite burger on "Sanford and Son." That and Menudo
