    Quoting Ruth Haffly to Jim Weller <=-

    Fatburger

    That's one we don't have in the States.

    It's actually an American company but they are located mostly in the
    western states. They moved into Canada but again, only in the
    west. They've been in Alberta about 15 years and in Yellowknife for
    five. They have a retro 50s vibe, big thick meaty burgers (1/3 and
    1/2 lb fresh, never frozen Alberta Angus beef patties), a number of
    variations on loaded fries (chili cheese, nacho, poutine and
    lumberjack (poutine plus maple bacon and fried onions) and good
    milkshakes made with real ice cream. Everything is cooked to order.
    They are more expensive than most of the other fast food places but
    worth it.

    Cute name

    It's a reference to the large thick patties.

    Andy and Marian Wong, Byron II Steakhouse, Honolulu

    I think that's new since we came back from HI

    It was a fixture for many decades and closed some time ago. Some of
    their house recipes linger on thanks to the Internet.



    Cheers

    Looks a lot better than most all of the big name burger places we've seen/tried.

    Also to the shape you'll be after indulging in a few of them.(G)

    OK, we never saw them but we didn't get around all of Honolulu, just the important parts. (G)
