Yes, a fatburger costs more than a Quarter Pounder or a Whopper, and yes it takes longer to get. That's because (A) it's a thicker (fatter) burger with fresher ingredients, and (B) it hasn't been sitting under a heat lamp waiting for you to come in and order it. A fatburger is cooked to order, so they are fresh. Quality is a positive thing, even if you have to pay for it, or wait for it.
In my high school days, when I had a little extra to spend, I used to go to Fatburger with a group of friends and get some chili-cheese fries covered with diced onions and a chocolate milk shake made with real ice cream. We would hang out in the lobby, listening to that great old time rock 'n' roll and classic soul that they always play. Those were good times.
Now that I try to eat healthier, it's been a couple of years since I've had their chili cheese fries or milk shake, but I still go to Fatburger once in awhile just for their veggie burger. Kudos to Fatburger for offering a healthy alternative to standard fast food fare. (If only In-N-Out Burger would introduce a burger with a veggie patty). Fatburger uses a substantial Boca patty in their veggie burgers, and it makes for a tasty, satisfying meal. It's probably the only thing I'll ever order from Fatburger anymore, so it's a really smart way to keep people like me coming back.
