Ever
since the first Fatburger opened in Los Angeles 70 years ago, the chain
has been known for its delicious, grilled-to-perfection and cooked to order
burgers. Founder Lovie Yancey believed that a big burger with everything
on it is a meal in itself; at Fatburger “everything” is not just the usual
roster of toppings. Burgers can be customized with everything from bacon
and eggs, to chili and onion rings. In addition to its famous burgers,
the Fatburger menu also includes Fat and Skinny Fries, sweet potato fries,
scratch-made onion rings, Impossible™ Burgers, turkeyburgers, hand-breaded
crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-scooped milkshakes made from 100% real
ice cream.
From
the Buffalo’s Express menu, patrons can choose bone-in or boneless wings
accompanied by a range of original sauces. All of Buffalo’s Express’ wings
are accompanied by celery, carrots, and blue cheese, ranch or honey mustard
dressing.
