Based out of Michigan, Hot 'n Now was a temple of Burgerdom.
When I had their succulent double sexy cheeseburgers for the first time I was like...
Before you know it, we were seeing each other twice a day.
Look how cute & happy we were together <3
Then, things began to change. We saw less of each other...
One by one, locations were either replaced by butthole burger chains that will go unnamed...
...or they were abandoned and boarded up as if they were your common warehouse.
I had to deal with it. Life had jizzed in its hand and slapped me across the face. We just weren't meant to be.
It's especially hard around the holidays when I see people happy with their significant burgers. I really miss that feeling.

I used to eat there all the time. RIP.

The first burger under a dollar. And their fries...Oh their fries.

And the cheese teasers. Deep fried potatoes with scalding hot cheese filling. Sigh...

There's still one in my hometown of Bay City. I always go there when I go back to visit the family.
ChefShwasty
Bay City, MI? If so, I'm putting it on my bucket list.
LizardPie666
This is the most feels inducing post I've seen yet.
djcobol
There is one open in Bay City still. I was there a couple of months ago.
EmporerOfSeattle
As a prior resident of Michigan, I can confirm the tastiness of those burgers.
trentorio
I was told by someone they were the worst burgers he, his father and his brother ever had. Place lasted a month. Taco Bell there now.
xAllenatorx
Hot N now was the best.

Halo burger is my replacement

Nothing like the feeling of Five Guys in my mouth.

As a hetrosexual male, I worried about liking Five Guys in my mouth. But then I got over it and Omnomnomnomnom'd
EvenBetterCool
The empty Hot n' Now stands are staples of every major Michigan community, now. I could take you to three of them without ever needing a map
AmyBethMegJo
And in some minor communities, as well.

There's one in Ypsilanti that briefly became the most amazing drive-thru Italian ice place. Now that's gone forever too. :(RIP Ice Scapes
MaksDaddy
I grew up Downriver and never saw one of these. Not even traveling-that I can remember.
WilsonFisk
I know this feel. However, now that I've moved west I have found salvation at In n Out and I know no pain
IAmALittleStitious
OMG. I always wondered why those abandoned buildings were all shaped the same way. Dude.
Therearetoomanyusernames
We had them in PA too. I'm still sad about it. Such good burgers!
printpirate
Miss the Hot n Now in Bay City. I didn't mean it when I called you Rotten Cow. I didn't mean it!!!!!!
Thespiritiswillingbutthefleshisspongyandbruised
I was waiting for someone to say Rotten Cow. Maybe its only a Bay City thing.
pandabug12
When did that one close? I ate there last summer. This makes me sad. I had looked forward to trip to Bay City this summer. Now no reason.
Amythyst
Google and others say it's still there. OP moved to Georgia.
Jagius
What do you mean miss it, it was just there last month....?
printpirate
I've moved to Georgia and this post just compelled me to repent. I'm glad to hear that the one in Bay City is alive and well.
ultimaterocker
Screw you OP I had just gotten over the closing of hot n now. You're bringing up do many feelings right now.

Olive Burger's there were the best fast food burger money could buy
guineapigs12
No way man, it was Mr. Fables.
CAPSMAN
OMGOSH I TOTALLY AGREE. NO SERIOUSLY THEY WERE THE BEST. FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF WHEN I SAW THIS POST. THE MEMORIES..

Olive burger lovers unite!
sassafras0324
OMG, no one does an olive burger like they did. NO ONE!
AGuyWithAMusicDegree
The closest is halo burger, but it's still not the same :(
taewooburns
Just the right amount of fast food funk, and grease. In high school it was my go to burger, for sure.

i wish i had more than one upvote to give
Imaginaryprophet
+1 for "significant burgers"
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
I've noticed that only homosexuals refer to their partners as significant others, does that mean OP is hom..burg...sexual?
Pappadiddy91
While I appreciate your pun, hetero and homosexual individuals BOTH use the term S.O. or partner. It's a person's choice

I am definitely going to be using this. Hopefully in my next job interview.

About 2 years ago there was still one open in Sturgis, MI. Don't know the status now. But the pain is real. :( RIP buffalo chicken bites

Kalamazoo, MI is my hometown! There was an abandoned one around there forever. I remember their fries being great too.
Iamtyrionlannister
I attempted to go to the one in Chesterfield only to find out it turned into a shitty checkers I died a little that day
rakkii
Kazoo native here. Live in parchment now. There is a Hot n Now still open in Sturgis.
amberwavesofgame
WHAAAAAAAAAT! I just assumed the whole chain went under
rakkii
Yeah, its still there last I checked. The cheese teasers aren't as good as I remember, but otherwise it's pretty much the same.
sassafras0324
Oh, I miss Kazoo so much. Moved from the area 8 years ago. Did they ever take down the old Hot n Now building on Westnedge Ave.?
amberwavesofgame
Ah I think that's the one I was thinking of! I moved a year ago and I honestly can't remember if they removed it! lol

I don't know either. But I'm so far down the rabbit hole that I go barefoot in the snow.
TravDrinksBeer
It fuckin' great don't judge me!
Bromanov91
every dead hotnnow became a checkers in Grand Rapids. Also, i loved how they used to say "Careful! It's Hot Now!"
FourOutOfFiveGreatLakesPreferMichigan
There are some that were just boarded up. I think the one in Grandville turned into a Mexican place.
TravDrinksBeer
I've lived in GR for like 5 years now but I've never gone to Checkers. My fiance says they aren't great
IamaHunchbackCamelFromOuterSpaceSmokingaCrayonBecauseISaidSo
A true Rapidian (can I call us that?) would know that Stella's lounge has not only the best burger in GR, but in the USA.
Widget88
Eh, burgers are decent, but their fries are like an angel pissing on your tongue. So good!
Bromanov91
Checkers is like sex. EUPHORIA and then self loathing. BUT, if you want an AMAZING burger, Johnny B'z on Wealthy. Get the Tommy Burger.
NovaKobra
I wanna have a Grand Rapids meet up at mulligans or something. That would be sweet.
Bromanov91
nah, i hate you people :)
morganapendragon
Pretty sure the one on Plainfield stayed empty. One of my earliest memories is of getting Hot n Now at that location
Bromanov91
they still have Taco Boy too
SanSamis
Plainfield NE and Alpine NW locations are still empty.
Bromanov91
alpine is definitely a checkers now, im sure of it. Right next to empire buffet?
SanSamis
By Menards, right? OK, maybe I'm just getting old...
