"Our burger is a sleeper on the menu"
Not for long. Welcome to Fat Sal's, the end result of a California dream three longtime pals from the NYC had about bringing the quintessential college kid sandwich, the Rutgers Grease truck hero, to Los Angeles. Three locations and two cites later (now open in Austin and San Diego), Fat Sal's could challenge Subway's rebranding of the submarine sandwich from "healthy fast food alternative" to "make your life an alternative to Man v. Food". But we are here to talk about burgers that have bang, and at $5.75 for a 1/2lb double cheeseburger, you know yours truly needed to come in for a visit.
These burgers sit quietly like choir girls on a school bus compared to Sal's notorious Atkins offenders, like his namesake sub that unites french fries, onion rings and mozzarella sticks all in the name of a roast beef sandwich. But a half pound of angus aint nothin to sneeze at, and this burger can easily stand alone as the promise of a lunch fulfilled; though you would be mistaken not to get a side of these fries:
