Fatburger Announces Opening of Second Chicago Area Location

“We are pleased to continue our growth with an experienced small business owner like Jackie Jackson,” said Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands’ Fast Casual Division. “There was strong demand to get a taste of Fatburger’s iconic, made-to-order burgers when we opened in Orland Park last year and we look forward to introducing sister brand, Buffalo’s Express, to the Chatham community.”

Ever since the first Fatburger opened in Los Angeles over 70 years ago, the chain has been known for its delicious, grilled-to-perfection and cooked to order burgers. Founder Lovie Yancey believed that a big burger with everything on it is a meal in itself. At Fatburger, “everything” is not just the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, pickles and relish.

Burgers can be customized with toppings including bacon, eggs, chili and onion rings. In addition to its famous burgers, the Fatburger menu also includes Fat and Skinny Fries, sweet potato fries, scratch-made onion rings, turkeyburgers, hand-breaded crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-scooped milkshakes made from 100% real ice cream.

A perfect complement to Fatburger, Buffalo’s Express menu includes delicious bone-in and boneless chicken wings accompanied by a range of sauces. All of Buffalo’s Express’ wings are accompanied by celery, carrots, and blue cheese, ranch or honey mustard dressing.

Fatburger Chatham will host a grand opening celebration on Saturday, Dec. 14. All guests who visit during the grand opening celebration will receive a free order of Fatburger’s famous fries with any purchase.
