Billy Kramer wasn’t supposed to succeed in the restaurant world.

No culinary background. No formal training. Just a growing frustration with his career—and a decision to fix his life.

What started as a personal obsession with burgers turned into something much bigger. Billy began traveling, tasting, analyzing… and then cooking. One tweak at a time. One lesson at a time. Until he created something people couldn’t ignore.

From disastrous pop-ups to launching inside a gas station, Billy built NFA Burger into one of the most talked-about burger spots in the country.

But this story isn’t just about food.

It’s about obsession. Reinvention. And what happens when you refuse to settle.

As Billy says:

“Anyone can do something great once… try doing it 80 times a day.”

And maybe the simplest truth behind it all:

“We all give a sh*t.”
