Businesswoman unveils Fat Ho Burgers in Waco
By Amy Starnes
Tribune-Herald reporter Michael Shapiro uncovered a rather provocatively named new burger joint planning to open in Waco next week.
Lakita Evans is prepping her Fat Ho Burgers at the corner of South 11th Street and Ross Avenue for its opening. It already has a banner out front advertising the name.
She told Shapiro the Fat Ho name has only generated laughter from passersby, but it caused at least one civic leader to do a double-take before wishing her well.
“Oh, jeez,” said Waco city manager Larry Groth, upon first hearing the restaurant’s name. “I guess they’ll find out whether the community supports them soon,” he said, before adding the test “may be in how good the burgers are.”
Evans, by the way, notes this town already has a Hooters and seems to question how is her name worse?
What do you think of the name? Will you go have a Fat Ho burger?
