POSTED November 17, 2009 BY Dana Spittal

Well, news to some… other may have already noticed…nonetheless, very exciting!

On the corner or Alberta Street and Broadway, right in Mount Pleasant, is going to be the new location of the last great hamburger stand…..

FAT BURGER!

    Looks like someone’s drank the koolaide……

    No one should ever eat at Fatburger. Ever.

    Moderne Burger. Broadway and Larch. There is no other choice. Seriously.

    In a REAL pinch…when things are tight, and you can’t get there because of its shorter hours or lack of transportation…Vera’s will do. Vera’s daughters don’t eat at Vera’s. That should tell you something.

    Repeat after me: Moderne Burger.

    This makes me hungry.

    Mordene is great and has cherry cola so extra points there but Fatburger can be dandy too. Is the Broadway one open? The sign says closed but it’s always full of people. Not sure if they work there or what.

LEAVE A REPLY BUT DON'T TALK NO TRASH BECAUSE WE WILL DELETE IT. BE NICE!
