Fat Man Lives On

Route 66 Icon Alive and Well!

A world-famous Route 66 icon back in the day, Fat Man was the face of the Club Café, known for its home cooking, sourdough biscuits, and Mexican blue corn tortillas. Over the years, the smiling, satisfied face of the Fate Man drew thousands of visitors. Club Café closed in 1991, but the original sign lives on at the Route 66 Auto Museum, and it graces the front of Joseph’s Bar and Grill.
