Turns out I’ve been pronouncing it right all along.
Joey Fatone, original *Nsync-er and Orlando local, is going into the food business with the psyco-sexually named Fat One’s, which will, of course, sell hot dogs.
Fat One’s will open at Florida Mall on Saturday, Sept. 10, with a special event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. During that time, Fatone is scheduled to hand out samples from the menu, which will feature 100 percent beef weenies in styles that include the Cuban. the Johnny Pizza, the Gone Hollywood and the Boy Bander. That last one features five mini wieners, about which I have no comment.
The opening celebration is being billed as family friendly and will include DJ entertainment and, for some reason, stilt walkers.
Fat One’s will operate from a kiosk near the Dining Pavilion bewteen Madeleine’s Country French Cafe and Five Guys, which I assume sells normal sized burgers.
I don’t know much about the rest of the menu, but if Fat One’s hasn’t partnered with Better Than Sex for its desserts, they’re missing out on a marketing coup.
