The grand opening of the first BurgerCraft restaurant is set to take place on June 1, 2006 in downtown Los Angeles, California. At BurgerCraft, players will have a chance to truly taste the flavor of Blizzard’s games and savor traditional dishes from all the company’s popular game universes. BurgerCraft will be open to customers of all ages and will provide a fun environment for the whole family. […]
The BurgerCraft menu will include:
- Red Dragon Wings (extra spicy buffalo chicken wings – epic!)

- Marine Wedges (spicy potato wedges w/ sour cream)
- Zealot Fries (french fries with “special” sauce to stimulate your psychic potential)
