CORRECTION: I have just been informed that although Michael Schepers of Mick's Karma Bar was initially involved with Pie Dog, he no longer has a dog in the fight here (pardon the pun).
It is still open, however. And there are burgers afoot.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:
As Anne Marie revealed on this blog nearly two years agoMichael Schepers of Mick's Karma Bar had been planning a beer-burger-and-sausage bar in Downtown Fullerton. This weekend, the man who created one of OC's best burger joints (when he was just trying to open a juice bar in an Irvine office park), is ready to open Pie Dog (actually it's already soft-opened).
Here's the Facebook post announcing its opening this weekend:
