FATBURGER

The child and I wandered into Fatburger to check out their menu. The home grilled beer burgers seemed to not sate Troy's Work Table's hamburger cravings on their own. More burgers were necessary.


Fatburger makes a great hamburger. I typically like my hamburgers with few condiments. Mustard, ketchup, lettuce, and tomato usually suffice. I will add cheese if it is available. For me, that is a "classic" burger.

On this occasion, I left my "hamburger comfort zone" and had "the works" minus the mayo. I believe that mayonnaise does not belong on bread, with the exception of tuna fish sandwiches.

My Fatburger consisted of
*a top and bottom bun
*1/3 pound all-beef patty
*mustard
*ketchup
*relish
*onions
*pickles
*lettuce
*tomatoes
*pepperjack cheese
*bacon
and was grilled to perfection.

It was accompanied by fat fries (steak cut) and a Coca-Cola. It was a great "fast food" meal and a much better burger than is served at any of the national franchises—McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Jack in the Box.

The child had a Baby Fatburger, prepared and served in simplicity—bun and burger with mustard, ketchup, and tomato. The child's hamburger was accompanied by skinny fries (regular) and a fruit punch. The child was also impressed that we each received a hard chocolate mint candy with our meals.

Fatburger bills itself as "The Last Great Hamburger Stand." Although I cannot confirm their statement, I can say that they do make a great burger. We will see if the burger cravings are diminished...
