Friday TGIF September 15th
0:08
2023 I'm here in Orange County
0:10
California the last couple trips to
0:12
SoCal that I have taken I have been
0:14
really good at resisting the temptation
0:16
to go to my favorite burger spot when it
0:19
comes to a fast food establishment by
0:21
the name of In-N-Out I got to thinking
0:22
today I could really go for a double
0:25
double and some animal style fries and
0:27
then I thought to myself wait a second
0:30
there are other places which might be
0:32
comparable taste wise that I've never
0:35
tried I've never done an episode on one
0:38
by the name a fat burger I'm heading to
0:40
a fat burger now gonna go through the
0:42
drive-through order eat in the parking
0:45
lot on the hood of my car or somewhere
0:46
around the exterior of said restaurant
0:50
there's one located right over by
0:51
Knott's Berry Farm in close proximity in
0:54
Buena Park Orange County I I have my
0:57
first Fat Burger experience I'm inviting
0:59
you to join me
1:05
all right I'm thinking that maybe they
1:05
don't have a drive-through or at least
1:07
this one
1:08
does not have a drive-through you got
1:10
the flag right here that states the name
1:12
on the side
1:14
they opened in 1952
1:25
the last great hamburger stand I could
1:25
see it through the window there written
1:27
across the top of where the grill is so
1:30
this particular one does not have
1:33
a drive-through but there are some
1:34
tables over there so maybe I could do
1:36
that
1:43
established in 1952.
1:43
I don't know why this place has slipped
1:45
past my radar for so long I think that's
1:46
supposed to be a seagull right there
1:48
it's losing its head in fact this one
1:50
already lost its head there's no head in
1:53
that wooden seagull
1:59
the address is 7984 it's about a block
2:02
off of
2:04
Beach Boulevard it's actually on the
2:06
corner of La Palma and Stanton right
2:08
over there I'm looking at the thing you
2:10
can kind of see in there last great
2:12
hamburger stand and I asked what I
2:14
should get and I went off the
2:16
recommendation of the worker inside
2:20
the reason I said house August is quiet
2:22
they have music playing inside and I've
2:23
been given number 23 they're going to
2:25
bring the food out to me can I conquer
2:27
the XXX challenge I didn't get I didn't
2:29
I'm not doing the triple X challenge
2:31
but I guess that's just what they that's
2:33
the placement card there you're gonna
2:36
sit here right here at this one
2:38
these are really heavy chairs
2:41
like no one's running off with these
2:43
things unless you got you gotta be
2:46
pretty strong to run off with those I
2:48
mean these will really probably do it
2:49
just put theft issues and I also ended
2:51
up getting a shake I got a vanilla shake
2:53
and I got one of the cookies right there
2:55
I did not get this though this is pretty
2:56
good I did not get that I got a bottle
2:59
of water a vanilla shake and this is
3:01
looking at the menu board inside there I
3:02
took a photo of it so they have the
3:04
original they have the large they have
3:06
the XXL they have the xxxl triple King
3:10
the worker said try the western bacon
3:13
BBQ
3:14
so I went with that
3:19
then they also have a thousand island
3:19
Burger which is probably comparable to
3:21
edit out
3:22
thank you man welcome
3:28
a little mustard mustard mustard and
3:28
catch I'll do both thank you
3:35
they're very very nice here by the way
3:35
they also have a skinny Burger which is
3:37
probably maybe meatless are they
3:39
impossible burger and the skinny mush I
3:40
got the skinny Burger I want to go all
3:42
in though
3:43
be the western bacon BBQ Burger actually
3:46
has onion rings on it so I went with
3:49
fries they have skinny fries and they
3:51
have big fries he said to get the big
3:53
fries that's the chocolate chip cookie
3:54
that I got coming in size does matter so
3:58
they say bun size I'll talk about bun
4:00
size and
4:02
this is how the fat burger is stacked
4:04
bun mayo lettuce tomato pickles onions
4:06
relish mustard Patty and a bun
4:09
right there and this is the little thing
4:12
when you're walking out and this is the
4:13
front of the hamburger area there the
4:17
last great hamburger stand I'm ready to
4:19
try this that traffic right there I
4:21
believe is knots
4:22
exiting out this Beach Boulevard is
4:24
right over there and one of the parking
4:25
lots of knots it's just on the other
4:27
side of the other building all right
4:29
this is right here look at the shake
4:33
got the burger
4:36
got the ketchup I got the mustard I got
4:39
the cookie
4:41
I got the fries
4:43
I got the burger here with the onion
4:46
rings on the side of it
4:48
or on top of it
4:50
as it is and they have they have the
4:52
itemized listing of what all that is
4:54
written there for their own
4:56
understanding when they're making it who
4:58
they're going to deliver it out to all
5:00
right
5:01
Fat Burger time I don't know if I could
5:05
get all this in the frame to be honest
5:06
there we go do this
5:09
do this
5:11
a burger here
5:13
Fat Burger
5:16
I'm gonna have to look up some
5:17
information about
5:19
how this place started I gotta get the
5:20
name in here
5:23
the Logo
5:26
put the logo on this side perhaps there
5:28
we go that might be a little bit better
5:30
it kind of does resemble in and out just
5:33
a little bit as far as
5:36
all these cars are looking at me like
5:37
why is that guy holding the burger like
5:39
that this is for posterity this is for
5:41
documentation proof right here
5:49
there it is
5:49
bad Burger Time
5:51
oh I shouldn't have this in here too
5:53
dang
6:00
cloud
6:00
that's tasty I should have probably
6:01
ended with that I've started with it
6:03
there we go
6:08
all right good enough he doesn't you
6:08
know the shakes in there
6:09
time to eat all right so I was saying
6:12
the
6:13
Thousand Island Burger I would imagine
6:15
is probably the closest thing to the in
6:17
and out because some people will say
6:19
that the In-N-Out secret sauce is just a
6:21
thousand island
6:23
this is more of a barbecue so it
6:25
probably has like a barbecue flavoring
6:26
on it
6:27
as opposed to
6:34
it has the onion rings on it right there
6:34
Sauce Cheese
6:48
okay
6:58
the cheese is good it's like a different
6:58
kind of cheese like a Swiss cheese
7:01
they get some swiss cheese on there like
7:03
a
7:04
cut the bacon on the bottom
7:28
that's pretty good
7:28
I'm not gonna say I'm like overwhelmed
7:31
by biting into it but it's good
7:35
it's decent
7:41
the BBQ sauce on it's good
7:41
the burger you know what the burger
7:43
reminds me of
7:46
I was like looking down at the window
7:47
there the burger reminds me a little bit
7:49
of Steak and Shake burgers
7:51
have you ever had a steak and shake
7:52
Burger that's kind of what the like
7:56
consistency and girthiness and meat
7:59
filled
8:00
Patty reminds me of
8:07
a little better than Steak and Shake A
8:07
Notch up above Steak and Shake but then
8:09
you add in the barbecue on there you add
8:11
in the onion rings these are the onion
8:12
rings like full-size onion rings
8:29
it's good now that my taste palette
8:29
is adapting itself to it I like it yeah
8:33
as far as going driving by in a fat
8:35
rapid Pace well these aren't the one on
8:37
the other side of the road are
8:40
all right they got the fries here we get
8:42
the fries
8:52
take a little dippage in the mustard
8:52
like a little dippage in the ketchup
8:59
they're called steak fries because
8:59
there's had these skinny fries
9:01
there's another fast food place that has
9:03
skinny fries might be Steak and Shakes
9:05
steak and French steak has the really
9:07
skinny fries interesting
9:09
for a stick Steak and Shake or a fat
9:12
burner
9:13
I got to do a little a little reading up
9:15
on the history of this company
9:31
pretty good it's a good all-round
9:31
package of a burger
9:41
let's talk about the bud what I'm
9:41
talking about
9:42
oh you know he took away the little
9:45
crackers but I want to try the xxxl
9:48
my stomach might not be able to handle
9:49
it because I've been eating better so
9:51
this is probably not even going to do
9:52
well with me this evening but
9:56
you got to have days where you just do
9:57
what you want
10:03
it's pretty good
10:03
yeah it's the barbecue burger
10:07
for YouTube yeah
10:09
you want to be in the video
10:21
all right
10:21
so there's like a bunch of people in in
10:23
line here in the car so
10:26
everyone leaving knots
10:31
they wanted to be in a city because I
10:31
said I could put them in the video so
10:48
I gotta be honest I kind of wish I would
10:48
have gone with the Thousand Island
10:50
Burger simply to get the comparable
10:54
distance
10:56
taste buds
11:06
between in and out in this I'm not going
11:06
to compare this internet it really is
11:08
not
11:18
it's good but don't come here
11:18
boy they're getting it's getting hot
11:20
heavy or heavy over there with the
11:22
traffic and the
11:23
little bit of anger happening
11:27
I would come back here but I wouldn't
11:29
say I'd make a mad rush
11:35
you're going to have a cheat day
11:35
maybe eat fast food every night which
11:37
I've been hesitant on doing I'm losing a
11:40
little bit of weight I do have my failed
11:42
days if we go down as a fail day but you
11:44
gotta have
11:45
stuff to keep you got to have the the
11:48
days that you're trying more rewarding
11:50
when you have days that you kind of give
11:52
up and just have like a eating garbage
11:54
like this I don't know if I would do
11:56
this again if I was on like a
12:00
crunch of eating healthy four days a
12:02
week and then eating bad three days a
12:03
week or eating five and two
12:06
I would probably go to the place I was
12:07
mentioning earlier but if you're eating
12:09
fast food all the time you
12:12
it's good
12:21
I also noticed
12:21
the menu was not too expensive they did
12:24
have a few different things
12:30
similar to In and Out which does which
12:30
has a very
12:31
basic menu to make the ordering system
12:33
easier
12:42
speeds up the process of getting people
12:42
in and out of the line I think the
12:44
reason they do that
12:49
if you give people more decisions
12:49
they're going to take longer to order
12:50
which is going to slow the whole process
12:52
of them ordering down if you just give
12:54
people a couple options
12:56
they're gonna go I want a number one I
12:59
want a number three
13:04
if you make people make their own
13:04
choices when it comes to ordering food
13:06
they're gonna they're gonna be confused
13:13
for myself included pretty simple minded
13:13
so I want to just have the fewest
13:15
options available instead of having a
13:17
bunch of options available
13:19
most the time when it comes to fast food
13:22
that's the secret
13:27
I've never ran a restaurant or anything
13:27
like that so I don't even know what I'm
13:39
and catch up I like them both on fries
13:39
on hot dogs but I'll put ketchup or hot
13:42
dog
13:49
but I do like ketchup on my fries and I
13:49
gotta say the steak fries
13:51
were a good call from the employee
13:54
really nice guy in there
13:57
very helpful
13:59
he was excited
14:00
that I was excited about this being my
14:03
first time at least on video I don't
14:05
ever recall
14:07
eating it a fat burger before
14:10
there's traffic through here something
14:18
all right so I have
14:18
saved the shake of the cookie
14:25
a guardian would go all the way up the
14:25
straw is in my way here all right the
14:26
shake
14:30
um
14:30
oh that might be better than in and out
14:33
shakes
14:42
this is better than an In-N-Out Shake
14:42
Burger better at in and out
14:48
the best burger I've ever had not the
14:48
worst really good just shake beats the
14:51
place I just mentioned
14:57
dang maybe it's because I haven't had a
14:57
shake in a while and it's kind of like
14:59
you're pleasing yourself with a
15:01
really sugary substance
15:07
bone-filled thing but that
15:07
I would take that over the other place
15:09
I've been mentioning you're playing a
15:11
drinking game and I keep saying in and
15:12
out
15:16
a fat burger
15:16
Bobby it wouldn't end well for you
15:28
that is a moist delicious cookie look at
15:28
this
15:30
that is moist
15:39
look at it it's like so moist it's like
15:39
dangling down I like a moist cookie I
15:42
don't like heart cookie
15:50
calorie count all that this not
15:50
important today
15:59
man shout out to them for having an
15:59
outdoor seating area where there's not
16:00
music wearing swearing on the other side
16:03
is blaring inside but they have an area
16:05
where I can do a little food review and
16:07
I love places like that I didn't have to
16:08
go to a party I'd have to heat on my
16:10
hood
16:21
soothing sounds of Notch traffic leaving
16:21
Beach Boulevard thing is
16:23
still got fries left and now I have
16:25
cookie cookie in my mouth
16:33
it's one of the best shakes I've had in
16:33
a fast food place
16:35
dang that's good Mad Greek in Baker
16:38
California on the way to Vegas
16:41
Top Notch shakes the best shakes you'll
16:42
ever have
16:43
when it comes to fast food though this
16:45
is up there this is good
16:49
I've learned when I do food reviews
16:51
about a certain place talk about other
16:53
places more than the actual place I'm
16:55
eating at it's a bad habit I got but I
16:56
gotta fix but I've eaten in a lot of
16:59
places I like to eat
17:08
you don't get a pristine figure like
17:08
mine without eating a big hunk of crap
17:11
on a pretty consistent basis
17:21
all right this has a little slogan here

Wilder is a fast food restaurant the

food is cooked and made to order kind of
18:34
reminds me
18:36
what's the breakfast place it reminds me
18:39
of that where you can watch them cook it
18:40
in front of you
18:43
a blank on what it is
18:45
some Fatburger restaurants have liquor
18:47
licenses
18:50
known as fat bars
18:53
bars Fat Albert everyday here
18:56
crazy maybe that's where the cause got
18:58
his idea
19:06
Edition oh the headquarters are in
19:06
Beverly Hills that's where I want to be
19:08
living
19:10
with Beezer
19:19
Beverly Hills the chain operates in 19
19:19
other countries 20 count in the U.S
19:25
is centered around hamburgers but offers
19:25
other things such as cheese bacon and
19:28
eggs bacon and eggs have breakfast
19:33
so that's very interesting yeah they
19:33
have 182 locations which is where blink
19:36
got their name
19:38
for their band a Blink 182
19:41
true but there was a time when Blink-182
19:48
was just called blink and they got sued
19:48
by a techno band from overseas so we
19:51
just added the 182 and used to do
19:53
interviews what does the 182 mean and
19:54
they would just say all this random
19:56
stuff they'd say oh it's the number of
19:57
of the f word in Scarface things like
20:02
if they knew that there was 182 of these
20:04
restaurants they could have thrown that
20:05
in and just thrown all the interviewers
20:07
off
20:09
but it changed their name
20:24
in popular country Sanford and Son used
20:24
to always mention this place in the
20:25
conversations
20:27
wow
20:34
so there it is the history of it
20:34
started back
20:40
what year did it start
20:40
oh wow
20:42
Adam's a woo or the daily woo
20:46
the daily woo w-o-o you want to be in
20:49
the video
20:49
yeah all right you're in the video
20:58
have a good night
20:58
oh I will see everyone knows Fatburger
21:01
around not
21:10
in 1992 it gained national attention
21:10
after being referenced in the hit song
21:12
it was a good day by rapper and actor
21:14
Ice Cube that that's
21:19
he didn't have to use as you know what
21:19
today it was a good day
21:23
I should also mention yeah I mean I
21:26
drank this which is total crap
21:28
total sugar but I have not had a soda in
21:31
like three and a half months three
21:32
months
21:33
I'm holding to some things
21:36
and one of them is not drinking so I
21:37
have not had a soda outside of a couple
21:39
little swigs a cup Club cool of like
21:42
Beverly and the other stuff they have in
21:44
there at Epcot I have not had a soda I'm
21:46
doing really good and sometimes I'll go
21:48
a couple days where I'll eat a bunch of
21:49
garbage and I think man I'm gonna like
21:51
look horrible in the mirror I've gained
21:53
a lot of weight and I have it I think
21:55
the days I'm doing really good are
21:56
coinciding but I gotta lay off these I
21:58
can't do this every day
22:06
but I'm really going hard on the mustard
22:06
here
22:08
so I hope you've learned something about
22:11
Fatburger I have learned something that
22:12
it tastes really good
22:15
it's definitely not my favorite
22:17
burger place like you already know what
22:19
that is
22:20
unbiased
22:25
but I do like food I do like burgers and
22:25
