It's on the west side of Lake, almost immediately across from The Slaw Dogs. When I was in high school it was a Taco Bell at which my friends and I used to grab cheap grub on our way to Dodger Stadium. In recent years it was a place called "Pearl's Kitchen," a fast food Hawaiian takeout spot that did not look good. I've never met anyone who has eaten there; I've never met anyone who has even heard of it.
But now it will be a Fatburger. This pleases me.

It's owned by a member of ATS so I'l take you to the friends and family day next Friday if you want to go.
Why yes, yes I do.
Waa!?? That is great news! I love Fatburger. That hawaiian place - was it the one that also served Chinese food? I went there once or twice - it was weird.
This seems like a strange place for a chain like Fatburger, but maybe that stretch of Lake Ave is changing.
Oh, and congrats on the media attention - you deserve it.
Well, thanks, but I'm not sure I deserve anything more than a Master Cleanse.
At any rate, I would rather have a Pasadena Fatburger than a Pulitzer. We had one on Arroyo about a decade ago. I never understood why Pasadena could support three Del Tacos (which I admit I like) but not one Fatburger. It would be like if they didn't have one actual Irish pub in Pasadena.
Okay, bad example.
That's awesome about the linkage! I've never actually had FatBurger sober...
congrats about being linked! woohoo! and about the fatburger!
On the press exposure, let me know if you need a rep...you are friends with a PR gal so I got your back, buddy. ;)
On Fatburger -- I'll be interested to try. Fun fact: I've never had Fatburger. 'Nother fun fact: I've also never had Tommy's.
I suppose this means I'm lame. Wait. The fun facts have betrayed me...
There are Fatburgers that are great, but there are also ones where you eat and say "Wait a second, what's so special about that?" I'm hoping this new location is the former.
As for Tommy's, the original is fantastic. The Pasadena location isn't bad, but it's my least favorite of the four I have been to.
Congrats on the write up! I was set on going there on my way to LAX but someone drove their SUV into the guardrail on the 405 and it caught on fire causing about an hour delay while they hosed everything down and cleared up the mess.
I've been to the Fatburger in Vegas before but I don't think I was ever really sober to remember if it was that great or not.
I think there is a Tommy's Original #235 or something by me in Palmdale and I went there not realizing that they serve chili on all of their burgers...not sure if I would go there again but I can say I've had it I guess.
All these references to non-sober Fatburger are funny. The first time I had Fatburger I was not sober, it was after a Halloween party at midnight or so. The food was so good that the next morning on the way home I went to Fatburger again.
You can get a burger at Tommy's without chili - they just look at you funny when you order it.
