Fatburger

Fatburger has already existed for 60 years in the USA and  got voted as the best burger in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. So far, there are three Fatburger restaurants in Jakarta since a couple years ago. But, strangely, this American burger restaurant chain is not as famous as its other competitors. 

Fatburger claimed that their burgers are made from pure Premium US Angus Beef. Sure, the  size of the burgers are big and pretty juicy but I find it, not as tasty as the other American burgers like Burger King or Carl's Jr.  Hmmm.... maybe that's the reason why this burger restaurant is not  so famous here in Jakarta?
