This Week's Speaker
Billy Kramer, Owner and Founder, NFA Burger

Join us this Friday at the Embassy Suites to welcome Billy Kramer, owner and founder of NFA Burger. After a 25-year career that spanned the shoe industry, radio, print and digital media, Billy left the corporate world to follow a passion he developed during his business travels ... burgers.

His first popup was in the spring of 2018 at Battle and Brew in Sandy Springs quickly followed by pop-ups at Galla's Pizza in Chamblee, Where's the Scoop, Big Sky and the TOUR Championship. In the fall of 2019, he was fortunate enough to stumble upon a newly opened cafe inside the Chevron (at Dunwoody Village) just three miles from my house. After meeting with the owner, he decided to allow Billy to launch his first NFA Burger inside his gas station. On December 3, 2019, Billy smashed his first burger inside what is currently the only location. During his first two years in business, NFA was fortunate enough to earn various accolades, including Food and Wine - Best Burger in Georgia, Thrillist's Best Burgers in America, 2021 Georgia's Favorite Burger by Food Insider (Business Insider), 2020 Atlanta's Best Burger by the AJC, Atlanta Magazine's 2020 Best Burger, and Dunwoody Crier: 2021 Perimeter's Best Burger.

While winning awards and being named one of the best burgers in the country is very cool, Billy wants to be clear about one thing ... "The best burger in the world is the burger you think is the best burger. Not the burger someone else thinks is the best burger."

"There are 8+ billion people on the planet and I know not every person is going to like NFA. With that mind, our goal is for you to leave full and happy, so if there is something you didn't like, I want to know. It's the only way NFA can get better."
