"Fat Boy Drive-In has come under new ownership; the decades-old mainstay had been on the market for a year and a half as owners Ken and Jeanne Burton planned to retire after 36 years. Mike Jerome, who co-owns Brunswick’s Portland Pie Co. and Bolos Kitchen Cantina and Candlepin, is the new owner and plans to open Fat Boy for the season any day now. As he told the Portland Press Herald, Fat Boy’s drive-in design lends itself perfectly to the current crisis and may help offer 'some normalcy and some excitement ... [to customers] sitting in the safety of their car, just like they have for 65 years.' To start, the menu will be limited in an effort to keep the kitchen staff small and properly distanced from each other, but classics like lobster rolls, frappes, and BLTs will definitely be available." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
