Eddie Szeto's Inner Sunset Burger King

The Inner Sunset Burger King closed its doors in late December 2006. It is now an organic bison burger joint..... Owner Eddie Szeto has moved on to concentrate on running his four other Burger Kings. (A photo of him moving his things from an illegal office and strorage space is directly below). This page will serve as a memorial.

Have you ever lived next door to a Burger King?

Well, I have.

It smells!

And there are other consequences....

The Burger King "closed for renovations" on Sunday, December 17th, 2006. It was reincarnated as an organic bison burger joint run by Eddie Szeto's nepher Daniel, until Daniel got fired for reasons we will not disclose here. Currently, Szeto's friend is running it for him as a inexpesive cafe. Hopes of a franchise have bit the dust. 

The Burger King in all its glory (August 2005). Graffiti, litter, and loitering were not a problem in this location prior to its establishment.

 They are so desperate for sales that they have lowered the prices.

Important Notice From Oxfam

Dear Whopperstomper.com readers,

You continue to amaze us. Over 28,000 Oxfam supporters have joined with us in urging Burger King to increase farmworker wages. We can't thank you enough! Recently US Senators Sanders, Kennedy, Brown and Durbin and author Eric Schlosser ("Fast Food Nation") have joined with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and thousands of people who support fair wages for poor farmworkers. But the fight is not over and we need you to do one more thing to make sure your voice is heard.

Please call Burger King at 1-305-378-3535 and tell them to join with McDonald's and other fast food chains in increasing farmworker wages. It's fast, easy, and puts additional pressure on Burger King to do the right thing.

Here are 4 simple steps to make your call as easy as possible.

1. Call 1-305-378-3535 and follow the instructions
2. Politely tell them your name and that you're calling to ask that Burger King join with McDonald's and other fast food chains to improve wages for those who pick their tomatoes
3. Thank them for their time and hang up
4. Then, <http://act.oxfamamerica.org/campaign/burgerking_call/wugb7ub4lm755jj?>click here and tell us what they said

It's as easy as that. A few minutes of your time could have a tremendous impact on poor farmworkers.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,


Tim Fullerton
Oxfam America

If you are reading this, you may have heard about my case. Or you may have passed by on foot or on the Muni and seen my signs in the window.

I don't like having signs in my window.

But then I don't like smelling grease each time I open it...

If you want to read about what happened to me, read The Burger King and I, an article which has been published in the November 1997 issue of San Francisco Frontlines in a slightly abbreviated form.

I also wrote a second article: The Burger King and I, Part II

If you agree with me, please do what you can to support me. Let's keep San Francisco's multicultural identity intact!

Please give me your comments. They'll all be posted. Read the current comments page.

If you think that fast food is great for your health, check out my fast food facts page.

Here's a good article about fast food and children's health.

 
Read about corruption and expediter Walter Wong The Inner Sunset Burger King is written about in the San Francisco Chronicle in December 2003

Be sure to let your elected representatives know just how you feel about the changes in our neighborhoods. Together we can make a difference!

Such a pleasant soul!

I had to file a police report in September 2000 after he assaulted me on the street.
