Fatburger's website (http://www.fatburger.com).

Ive never heard of "Fatburger" ...a name that doesnt inspire confidence! :lol:

^What?!!! You've never heard of Fatburger? I thought you lived in L.A.

To put it in basic terms... it's the second best hamburger place after In-N-Out.

:rip:

Got my thoughts and prayers with them ,and there familys and friends!!

rest in peace

I went there and the prices for their burgers was astronimocal!:eek:

Yes, there are at least six (6) Fatburger locations in Canada, I just went to the site. Let us know if you try one! :)

I guess the hamburger is not the national food of Canada.

I've eaten at In-N-Out for quite some time now and their burgers are very good. They always had a very simple menu, burgers, fries and drinks. Very litte has changed in almost 60 years.

It's amazing to me that a man who owns a place called "Fatburger" lived until he was 96!! I'm sure he had alot more of his share of burgers!!

Now I've been to Calif. quite a few times and I don't remember seeing a Fatburger, but I am familiar with In-n-Out.

:eek: that is some pretty sad news to hear. lol. it beats all other burgers i've ever had. and their animal style fries (fries, grilled cheese, thousand island dressing & grilled onions) are amazingly delish. if you're ever in california, nevada or arizona you HAVE to visit & eat there once. you won't regret it & they've got cheap prices too.

Well, i like A&W, and they have great root beer too! ;)

Yeah and the closest one is a 2000 mile drive, thats a little too far to go just for a burger! :eek: (The closest USA FB is the one in Philly, about a 4 hour drive.....although, Detroit is only 3 hours away, but, that one is under construction! :lol: )

But weren't you staying in L.A. for a while? I remember you mentioning something about DJ'ing in some club on Sunset and going out for sushi at Koi.

Nope, not I , I've never been further in the USA than Buffalo (40-45 mins from here over the border) , my GF lives in LA and works part-time in clubs there, as a sound technician (To make extra money), maybe that's who you're thinking of :confused: ......and frankly, I hate sushi! :lol:

^Nevermind, I think I'm confusing you with FactoryGirl. lol
