My brother and I were wandering around the downtown Vancouver area thinking about dinner but not wanting anymore Asian food. After wandering around for a bit (and passing many an Asian restaurant), we recalled a couple of burger joints on Denman near the beach at English Bay. We chose Fatburger over Vera’s Burger Shack. Orders are placed at the counter and your food is brought to your booth.
I had the Fatburger (a 1/3 lb burger) while my brother had the Kingburger (1/2 lb of beef!). These were fully dressed and were moist and very more-ish.
The onion rings were excellent! The rings were coated in a breadcrumb mixture that made them seem less oily than their battered brothers. And of course, proper onion slices, not those fake reformed rings of chopped onion.
The fries too were good - crisp with no hint of sogginess.
Would I return? You bet! This is fast food I can get used to! (And I want to try their chili dog next.)

I hate it when you bite into an onion ring and the whole onion separates from the batter. These burgers and sides look delish!

kat: Yes, yes! You speak the truth - onion rings with no onion inside are horrible! That didn’t occur with these!
ts: You got it! I saw the link to the comments by Vera’s owner on your blog and was appalled! So glad I didn’t eat there! Anyway, Vera’s was nearly empty while Fatburger was much busier.
foodhoe: Those rings were goood. So unhealthy too.
Whatever, I was on holiday.
