While walking through the Green Valley Ranch Casino near Las Vegas on my way to have breakfast, I passed an iconic hamburger place – Fatburger.
The first time I heard about Fatburger’s famous fat burgers was when I visited my relatives in Sacramento while in college. Apparently their Los Angeles restaurants were making quite a name for the company, and I had no idea what they were.
The first Fatburger fat burger I ever ate was in Las Vegas, in a little shopping area on the Strip, near the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. It was big, greasy, and utterly delicious – just like In-N-Out used to be before they expanded outside of California.
Founded in 1952, Fatburger now has 95 restaurants. In-N-Out, founded four years previous, today has 240 locations.
Anyway, seeing the Fatburger neon lettering inside a casino was amusing. Who’da thought?
I regret not trying this (as well as In and Out) during my carnivorous days.
