Fans of Finn Town’s burger will be pleased to see that it remains, alongside a quinoa burger, and a tuna steak burger. There’s also a new weekday happy hour, starting Monday, July 10, with snacks like deviled eggs, and drinks specials that include $9 Tito’s Vodka drinks, $5 beers, and $7 wines.

Apparently she started the business after the apple pie she made for her daughter’s school dance was a huge hit. Now that Oprah has spread the word in the August issue of O Magazine, it’s game on.
