"Stanich’s, a nationally celebrated burger joint in Fremont, Portland, has been closed for almost nine months. Despite signs from owner Steve Stanich indicating a hopeful reopening, the restaurant remains closed with its website down and Google listing it as permanently closed. The closure, originally intended for an employee vacation and deep cleaning, has extended indefinitely. The restaurant gained national acclaim in May 2017 when its cheeseburger with grilled onions was named the best burger in America by Thrillist critic Kevin Alexander, which led to overwhelming response and business challenges for Stanich." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
