fatburger pasadena - open!

 first off, congrats to mr. earl's san francisco giants - 2010 world series champs.  i haven't been a dodger fan long enough to find this news totally disheartening, and actually kind of took pleasure in seeing the underdog team take home the trophy.

speaking of exciting times - did you hear that fatburger is open in pasadena after a several year hiatus from our lovely city?  we stopped by yesterday and enjoyed their delicious burgers, crispy steak fries, and hamburger stand vibe.

it was crowded but the service was fast when we arrived in late afternoon, while some friends who passed the restaurant around noon said that the line spilled out on to the sidewalk.

fatburger pasadena - coming soon?

a few weeks ago, an immovable feast pointed out that fatburger was set to move in to a old pasadena restaurant on lake avenue.  i was excited.  i'm always up for a new burger place in town, and the few times i've eaten at fatburger have been delicious.

but finding info about when it is actually opening has proven difficult.  their facebook page claimed they would be open by october 15th (which is clearly not the case), and the coming soon sign has been hanging out for quite some time.

while out for a walk last night, i bumped into an employee who said they would be open by monday, november 1.  we'll just have to see about that.
