Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago.

When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be.

For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard.

Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s.

Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both.

When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and styles. One option is called the “Char Dog” and that is an all-beef hot dog that has been charred rather than steamed.

I ordered the regular Char Dog with fries.

As mentioned earlier it came in the Chicago style with all of the usual glorious toppings.

The hot-dog itself was great. I love when they are charred, and it was perfect for me. When cooking at home I usually make mine a little more “burnt”, or crispy, while using the grill.

As for the “Fatso Burger” it was pretty simple. It kind of reminded us of a whopper in terms of taste. It is also a charred burger, which could be why we think of a whopper, it also features most of the same toppings. The toppings on the Fatso burger are lettuce, onion, tomato, with ketchup and mustard.

We enjoyed the burger and thought it was decent.

Now on to one of my favorite parts- the French fries.

The fries were different than most places. They are not your typical frozen, fast food French fry; they seem to take on their own personality. Super delicious, and definitely deep fried, you don’t want to miss out on them!

So to wrap this awesome place up, we just want to give a big thank you to Fatso’s Last Stand and hope everyone can get a chance to try it!

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall. Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

Noodlecat's Dream Buns

If you're strolling through downtown Cleveland we hope you stumble into Noodlecat . Located on Euclid Ave, you will be surrounded by a few different popular restaurants, don't be shy! Try them all! From our experience you can't go wrong. Noodlecat serves up three main options noodles, buns, and veggies. Unfortunately we did not come for noodles on this visit, we came for the Japanese Steam Buns! We picked 2 of the 5 bun options they had available and went with the J-fried Chicken bun and the Fresh bacon bun. These Buns are Japanese white bread sandwiches each topped with lettuce and pickle. For the J-fried Chicken Bun, this soft steam bun has a piece of fried chicken, sweet and spicy power ketchup. At first bite you're in love. The fresh steam buns are amazing. The chicken was crispy, tangy, and delicious but it was no match for the next bun that we tried! The Fresh Bacon Bun was filled with a delicious slice of lightly smoked, sugar ...

Tasty Tidbitt meets Tasty Made

Being owned by Chipotle, Tasty Made is a new burger joint with their first location being built in Lancaster, Ohio. So for the simple fact that we are Ohioans and Chipotle fans, we were very excited for this review and to be one of the first food blogs to review the Tasty Made restaurant. To start off, the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant is much like a Five Guys restaurant with a lot of red and white. It's not really what you expect when you think of Chipotle walking in. The menu was very small which isn't always a bad thing in a restaurant, especially a new one. There is nothing worse than a menu that is simply too large. The menu is basically the Tasty Made Original Burger, Cheeseburger, Hamburger, fresh made fries, milkshakes and sodas. All of the burgers can be ordered with an extra patty, called a double. We decided we would go with their signature burger, which is a meat patty on a bun topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle and their bacon sauce. The ...
