Bye bye Fatburger
I see that the only Fatburger in my 'hood has closed. Now I am left wondering where I can find a burger joint that puts fried eggs on its burgers.
There used to be a time when finding a really good hamburger in my 'hood, Santa Clarita, was not that hard. We had TimToms, Tommies, Jimmie Dean's, Cousins, Telly's, three In N Outs and Fatburger. Now we have lost another great burger joint.
I am not sure if I'm going to miss the fried egg cheeseburger or the fried egg sandwich more.
Without a doubt, the fried egg sandwich is one of the most underrated sandwiches ever created. Most sandwich places dismiss offering one altogether. And this is a mistake.
Fatburger remedied that mistake.
Not only did they offer a fried egg sandwich, but they offered it with options. I prefer my fried egg sandwiches with American cheese and bacon, a little ketchup, on sourdough bread. Fatburger offered theirs with the option for cheese and bacon and served it on a hamburger bun.
Quite ingenious. And probably done so because they were few other options, Fatburger being known for serving hamburgers.
Still, it was a fine combination and one that is no longer easily accesible to me. I have been told that that nearest Fatburgers to my 'hood are in Northridge and Burbank. Hardly within reason.
This is a sad day. First TimToms closes and a Burrito Factory pops up in its place.
Now my fried egg sandwich store has shut down.
At least I am grateful there is still a Fatburger around the block from where I work. Hopefully, the fried egg sandwich will remain in favor of those who put together the menus.
