Kanye West makes entreaty into world of fast food restarateurs, fails:

In 2008, West decided that his home town of Chicago needed a dose of the West Coast, in the form of the cult burger stand Fatburger. After some wrangling, his food company KW Foods, LLC was able to obtain the rights to open ten Fatburgers around the Chicago area.

The first one opened its doors in suburban Orland Park in September of that year, followed by a second in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood.

But last Thursday, the flagship Orland Park location quietly closed its doors.

Look, Kanye, I’m really happy for your entreprenurial spirit, and I’mma let you finish seeing how the Beverly location plays out – but In n’ Out makes the best fast food burger of all time. And if I’m in Chicago I’m going to Kuma’s Corner, and that’s that.
