Fog Cutter Capital Group, Inc.'s Fatburger Unit Opens Its 35th Location in
Southern California

PORTLAND, Ore., April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fog Cutter Capital Group
Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board: FCCGE) Fatburger unit has announced the opening of
yet another Southern California location at 501 Albertoni Street in Carson,
California.

Mike and Nancy Ayoub are the franchise owners of this restaurant and are
excited to give the Carson community their very own Fatburger. "I'm thrilled
to be a part of the L.A. icon - Fatburger," said Mike Ayoub. "I've been to
numerous Fatburger restaurants in Southern California and I am excited to
create the same lively vibe at my store here in Carson."

The Ayoubs are entrepreneurs at heart, previously owning "Gift Time", a gift
and jewelry store for over 28 years. They stumbled across the Fatburger
Corporate Office while attending to their store located on the 3rd Street
Promenade in Santa Monica. "As soon as we learned more about Fatburger, we
knew Carson would be a perfect home for the brand."

The new restaurant boasts approximately 2,200 square feet, contains 66 seats
and will create approximately 35 new jobs for the community.

Fatburger is a quick-casual, takeout and sit-down restaurant serving big,
juicy burgers custom made to guests' taste buds. The taste and quality of
Fatburger inspires a fierce loyalty among customers that crosses all
demographic lines, including Hollywood personalities and sports stars. For
more than 55 years, Fatburger has been dedicated to serving big, fresh, 100
percent pure lean beef burgers custom made and grilled right in front of
customers.

Every signature Fatburger patty is fresh, never frozen and can be indulgently
dressed with all the usual condiments plus inspired choices such as chili,
bacon and even fried egg. For those with a heartier appetite, there's a
half-pound XXXL Fatburger. When finished cooking on an open grill, your order
is delivered to your table.

Fatburger's spacious restaurants feature a hip '50s-style decor accented with
bright colors, neon lighting and stainless steel accents. Classic R&B, rock
and soul tunes complete the atmosphere, creating a "burger joint" vibe.
