This post is dedicated to a few special ladies. I best not name names but they are just too pretty to ignore, don't you agree?. Thank you Kiki, Umi, Ira and Flo for an unforgettable lunch. When deciding on a lunch destination the day before my wonderful, clever, funny and most importantly burger loving friend Kari (aka Kiki) suggested Fatburger. You may find this hard to believe, but I had not heard of Fatburger until this week. I did a bit of pre-meal investigation (in true James fashion) and discovered that Fatburger is a very popular restaurant chain which started in LA. Can you imagine my excitement? Fatburger has made it all the way to Jakarta. It was destiny. We made the plan, we battled through traffic and we sat down to order.
The choices were simple and appropriate. Although, I will never endorse putting egg on a burger. What is the point? None, I tell you, none. The best part of Fatburger was the freshness. I even tolerated the pickles, which were slightly claussenesque. Perfect meat to bun ratio. Onion rings lived up to their hype. I would recommend the skinny fries over the fat fries (don't worry dad, I didn't have fries AND onion rings), but I found it to be my obligation to at least taste test what they have to offer. Fountain pop is hard to find in Jakarta and guess what folks...yep Fatburger delivers. awesome.
I was impressed and will refrain from any constructive criticism other than maaaaybe cooking the meat a bit less. oops, I let it slip. Please don't let this one very minor detail detract from the overall what could be a historically great review. Fatburger in Jakarta, did I mention that already? Again as always, the company was the key to my enjoyment. Burger club DC would approve. Until we meet again Fatburger.
Terima kasih.
Terima kasih.

p.s. Queen Latifah owns her own Fatburger and so rightfully claims that a girl needs a good burger (nuff said). check out the clip on the website.
