Livermore has a new food hall bringing such new — and irreverent — dining concepts as Pimp My Ramen, Murder Burger and Plucked. Fat Chance Entertainment is the parent company behind Sauced BBQ, which has six locations across California, including its flagship in Livermore, plus Walnut Creek and San Jose. It also operates Plucked Chicken and Beer in San Ramon and Da Boccery in Livermore.
The “Fat Chance” name stems from the founders’ realization that, when they started their first restaurant in 2012, they were taking a big chance, says Kristina Wulff, the company’s brand manager. The new Fat Chance Food Hall offers “food for every mood” and every family member dining out, Wulff says.
