Fat Ho Burgers

One of the good things about hard economic times is that it gives rise to new business started up by people who think outside of the box.

One such business is in Waco, Texas and it is a new burger joint. The name of the new burger joint is “Fat Ho Burgers”.

The New Joint

The lady who started the new burger joint wanted a cool name for her place and also something that you will never forget. Well mission accomplished with the name Miss Evans.

Miss Evans also picked the name of the place as a joke to lighten the mood during such hard times in Texas. “The economy is bad. Somebody gotta keep a sense of humor around here.”

Miss Evans

According the news site where I read this story, business there is doing great. And if Waco was not so far away from me, I would come in and get the “super fly ho with cheese” and a “tiny ho” meal for each of my kids.

My hat is off to you Miss Evans for standing up in the middle of a recession and in the bible belt of Texas (who protested over the name of the place) and coming up with a creative name for your burger joint. I hope your business is a huge success.

Edited To Add: Some of you asked for their website with the menu, so here you go.

And some of you also asked if they sold stuff (like t-shirts) and apparently they do see stuff and you can get it here.

  10. @ Lurker, exactly.

    @ Laynee, you need to go and report back to us.

    @ Lass, I didn't want to say that, but thank you.

    @ Djech, that is what I was thinking as well.

    @ Tony, I am not sure why. But that area is known for that type of religious nut.

    @ Sherilin, same here.

    @ Cake, I do as well. If it was closer to me I would go for sure.

    @ Thomas, I agree.

    @ Rosie, yep same here.

  11. OT...Never heard of it and I hope she franchises! Good for her and her ho burgers.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Good for you Miss Evans! And not for nothing, but a super fly ho with cheese sounds delicious right about now!

    ReplyDelete
  13. They should have a happy meal in a little 'trunk'-like box, and call it the "Junk in the Trunk".

    ReplyDelete
  14. If you do go there PLEASE get a menu to post!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hehehe... I would have told the people protesting that it's an Asian inspired name and thanks to not be discriminating.

    That being said, I think it's a great name for a restaurant.

    ReplyDelete
  16. @ Barb, I hope so as well.

    @ D'Artagnan, yes it does sound great right now.

    @ Kev, oh now there is an idea.

    @ Laughingmom, will do.

    @ Yandie, that would have been smart. I agree, it is a great name.

  20. I wish her all the best. Way cool and totally thinking outside her box.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Too funny... If I'm ever in town I'll have to swing by the Fat Ho Burger and check it out... my question is what shows up on your credit card statement? Charges to Fat Ho???? Married guys be ware...

    ReplyDelete
  22. I demand t-shirts that say "I'm a fat ho!"

    ReplyDelete
  23. @ Brandy, I agree it is too funny.

    @ Ally, I love it as well and I also bet that they are great.

    @ Texa, I have no idea what the address is, I just know it is in Waco.

    @ Nubian, I wish her all the best as well.

    @ Zack, that is a great question.

    @ Lost, I would like a t-shirt as well.

    ReplyDelete
  24. So, does this make Ms. Evans the "Chief Fat Ho"?

    Let's hope they don't make t-shirts that say "I Love Eating Fat Ho's".

    Oh, and remember folks, eating too many fat ho's makes you a super fat ho!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I give her credit for trying to lighten the mood, even though I don't like the word ho. But if Santa can say it in excess, all power to her.

  26. come grab a burger at fat ho's - ha, great name, certainly easy to remember -

    ReplyDelete
  27. Kudos to her and her name!
    There ain't nothing that says finger licking better than a Fat Ho.
    Hold the cottage cheese please!!!

  28. @ Empress, I am not sure. Hey now I would buy that t-shirt.

    @ Robyn, you are right about Santa.

    @ Ryan, yes it is very easy to remember.

    @ Bushman, I agree.

  29. That is absolutely hysterical! What's a good business if you can't have fun with it? At least she's enjoying what she does, having some fun, and making some money. Now if only one of us had thought of it first...

  30. What kind of filling can I get with that?

    ReplyDelete
  31. @ loans, yes it is very hysterical.

    @ Drake, I am not sure.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I thought it was a Chinese restaurant.
    Kudos to you for inserting "gives rise" and "thinking outside the BOX" in the first paragraph of a post about a "Fat Ho."

    ReplyDelete
  33. The more I think about it, though, the more I think the word is misspelled. Shouldn't a gardening implement be spelled "hoe?" I mean, after all...ohhhhhh...NOW I get it. Never mind.
    OK, two comments about one post. I'm on a roll.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The name sure does make you think, doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hey isn't this the same Sammich that stays out in the pouring rain at football games? You can go a bit longer for a burger? :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't do burgers, but even if I did I don't think I would go there to get one. Maybe it's just me, if she's making money, good for her.

    ReplyDelete
  37. If only Texas weren't so very far away.

    ReplyDelete
  38. "You Are What You Eat!" Too funny!

    Now there's more of a reason for me to go down to Waco to visit family, I'll bet those are the best burgers ever!

    ReplyDelete
  39. @ Al, you crack me up.

    @ Teach, yes it sure does.

    @ Copyboy, it might just be.

    @ Alessandra, each to his own is a good motto to live by.

    @ Toast Man, me too.

    @ Dumbass, exactly.

    @ Anna, same here.

    @ Mom, you should go down and get one.

  40. other items she should include on the menu:
    ~ foot-long satisfaction hotdogs [100% all-american beefcake]
    ~ 6-pack ho-attack [tiny burgers]
    ~ stripper poles [fries?]

    ReplyDelete
  41. @ Violet, I agree those should be on the menu as well.

    ReplyDelete
  42. OMG- A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

    Why didn't I think of that?

    ReplyDelete
  43. @ S, I was thinking the same exact thing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I may be wrong, but I think the name will deter people who are actually fat and upset about their weight, since it might evoke a guilt conscience or offend them?

    ReplyDelete
  45. @ Peace, if some people are detered by a little humor then they probably don't need a good burger.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Bet the food is fan-friggin-tastic, too!
