More details on Shaun Doty’s YEAH! Burger

ATL Food Chatter: March 16, 2010 (To receive the Chatter and other culinary tidbits directly in your inbox, sign up for our weekly dining newsletter)When speaking about his new YEAH! Burger project opening in the White Provision complex this May, Shaun Doty likes to address the “Why another burger joint?” question straightaway: “Burgers are the most frequently ordered menu item in America,” he says, quoting a study from Restaurants and Institutions. “If we make everything fresh, how can it be bad to have another burger option in Atlanta?”

As funny as it is to hear a youthful forty-year-old describe himself as “a product of an earlier era,” I knew exactly what chef Shaun Doty, the owner of Shaun’s in Inman Park, was trying to communicate when we sat down for a chat at Aurora Coffee in Little Five Points. I thought he would be mad at me for starting the conversation by calling him “the king of french fries.” Au contraire! He reminded me that, although he grew up in Oklahoma, he had lived in Belgium, where frying potatoes is an art form, and that he had once been married to a Belgian woman.
