Mean Gene's Burgers - Tracy, California

Mean Gene's Burgers - Tracy, California, at the corner of North Tracy Boulevard and West Larch Road, circa 2012

UPDATE, 2015-05-18: closed, for all intents and purposes...signage inside and outside remains, and staff will cook a burger for you, but no formal menu, no branded cups/placemats/and so forth.

Mean Gene, of course, represents the WWE announcer Gene Okerlund, a Minnesota native. Wikipedia explains:

His name has been associated with fast food concept, Mean Gene's Burgers, the brainchild of food-distributor Orion Food Systems (headed by two of Okerlund's nephews), which appeared on college campuses including Duke University and his alma mater West Virginia University, as well as a chain of pizzerias located within bowling alleys, Mean Gene's Pizza. These are owned by Hot Stuff Foods, which was headed by two of his nephews. Early in 2006, Okerlund and Hot Stuff split. Okerlund and one of the nephews were planning to start their own food company on the brands, but Hot Stuff sued, claiming they had "Mean Gene" trademarked. Okerlund lost, with the judge saying that Okerlund can't use the name "Mean Gene" for his new food company. Okerlund succeeded in canceling the trademark registrations held by Orion, but remains enjoined from competing with Orion.

The official Mean Gene web site, revamped in early 2014, seems to contain a page titled "Burgers"...however, it fails to have any info, as of this posting.

UPDATE: 2015-05-02, stopped here on Friday, May 1! They told me they had closed the grill at 3:00 p.m. due to lack of people...so, will have to stop by another day, before 3:00 p.m.
