Fatburger: Cheapest Foods Calories Per Dollar
What do you think of when you think of California cuisine? For many its Kale chips and avocados paired with a glass of Napa wine. For me, its Fatburger. A burger chain that no one asked for. It started at the same time as McDonald’s, but unlike the golden arches, its growth has been more modest. Some people claim these burgers are delicious, but some people claim socialism works so who knows.
