OTTING ZOMBIES WATCHING YOU WHILE YOU EAT MAY NOT BE THE MOST APPETIZING THING FOR MOST PEOPLE. But if you have a name like George Formaro (no, that’s not a pseudonym), it only seems natural that you would open up a zombie-themed burger joint. Located in Des Moines, Iowa, Zombie Burger is adorned with metal fixtures and murals of zombies on its walls, giving it a sort of modern industrial chic
aesthetic, with a splash of the undead. And if you walk in thinking the place looks crazy, just wait until you see the menu. There are more than twenty different burgers to choose from, including The Walking Ched and Dead Moines, as well as the restaurant’s famous cake shakes and Ripper hotdogs. On August 30, Formaro celebrated the one-year anniversary of his popular restaurant. We recently got him on the phone to chew the fat.
