When Peter Bro of Broder opened All-Way Burger in the former Red Coach space less than a year ago, he brought his own version of trashy fast food, mostly inspired by the In-N-Out burger chain, to Portland. The result was burgers that reveled in simplicity, with staff doing endless tastings to get the right fast-food flavors out of homemade ingredients. Days were spent trying to determine the order of the ingredients between the buns. Special sauce beneath or on top of the burger? Lettuce on the burger or on the side?

Despite earning a following of die-hard fans, All-Way Burger announced yesterday by Facebook that it has closed. As you can read below, owners Bro and Martin Hulth say that they are not abandoning the All-Way concept.

But what will happen to the Downtown space, formerly home to the Red Coach for 55 years? Will the old-school red booths ever see another round of milkshakes and onion rings?

Here's All-Way's closing announcement from Facebook:
