Looking at the Fatburger opening in Murray Hill



And for some reason I was walking on Third Avenue just above 34th Street Sunday when I spotted the signage for Fatburger... Crain's reported last December that the 60-year-old Beverly Hills-based chain was planning on opening 10 outposts in Manhattan.

And apparently this one at No. 509 will be the first... looks close to being ready... and it looks nothing like the one I ate at in California once while on vacation about 100 years ago... this one has a bar ...



There used to be a Fatburger on Third Avenue near East 18th Street, where Robert Sietsema remembered that Matt ("Friends"!) LeBlanc once worked...

Fatburger is owned by Riese Restaurants ... who also owns Tad's Steaks. Maybe they'll open another one on Union Square ... Oh, and doncha think the East Village will be one of the 10 outposts for a Fatburger?

It opens next Tuesday, per Eater.
