It’s the exterior of places like Fat Smitty’s in Discovery Bay, WA,  that draw me in because I’m a sucker for chainsaw carvings and California Raisins, but even the kitschy exterior can’t prepare you for the interior: hundreds (possibly thousands) of marked-up dollar bills are pinned to every surface and hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere they create is a bit uncomfortable, as even in the bright of the day, the room feels dark, dirty,  and almost claustrophobic. However, we were hungry, and despite the atmosphere, Fat Smitty’s has a reputation for good burgers, so we stayed. We each ordered the Fat Smitty burger, though we should have taken more notice of the giant burger outside and planned on splitting one–when it lands in front of you, it feels like a 1:1 scale replica.
