Today was a family outing day. We have been wanting to taste the famous Fukuburger for a while and decided tonight was the night. The downside to the Fukuburger is that it's not a stationary restaurant, it's a food truck. In order to track down the popular burger truck you need to check their weekly schedule on their website or one of their social media sites. If you are jonesing for a Fukuburger lunch, you are out of luck. The truck schedule tends to feed those with the late night or midnight munchies. We waited until 10 pm. Let's hope that a daytime Fukuburger truck is in the works. I am a homebody and like to stay home in the evenings.
We weren't starving so we ordered a number 2 Tamago Burger with a side of Togarashi Garlic Fries. Three drinks too.
A line was forming outside of the truck while our "waitress" took our order. She looked fashionable in her space blanket thingy wrapped around her in a toga-like style as she sat on the fold down ledge. Be ready with a fun and witty nickname when you place your order. We were not prepared and not creative. We used our doggy's name Koatree. It was late for us and no creative juices were flowing. You can tell we weren't the only ones getting tired. Look at the dude yawning in the back. We waited behind "Sweet Cheeks and Tom's Grandson" before we got our grub.
Was it worth the trip late at night? If the location was in a more desirable area, I am sure we would make the drive again. The burger was tasty with the furikake and wasabi mayo giving it extra flavor. And how can you not love egg on your slab of beef? Who would have thought to put Togarashi on french fries and dipping them in a crack sauce. Yeah, I have no idea what crack sauce is but it's yummy. I am stealing that idea too.
Total Cost of Excursion: $15.00 $20.00
Add $5.00 to that total. We got ripped off. For those Hawaii peeps that stay at the California Hotel, be warned. They now charge $5.00 for parking upon entering the structure on weekends unless you are a guest or have a Sapphire club card. Unforseen expense. This is Las Vegas. When did they start charging for hotel parking?
