They could have modified the pizzafari kitchen instead but then you’d be losing pizza. Another theme park staple.

News Harambe Market Refurbishment Planned Ahead of Restaurantosaurus Closure

A kitchen can’t make pizzas and burgers? That’s what I was suggesting - serve both at that location.

Depends. In some cases yes and in others no, it’s complicated. These kitchens are designed to be able to quickly mass produce their menus. Space is limited. If pizzafari wants to add grills and fryers to make burgers and fries they could. But they would need to do so by removing other kitchen equipment. So maybe they can add burgers and fries to their menu but now have less or no pizza ovens depending on space constraints. You can’t just add large kitchen equipment and prep space without taking something else away.
Pizzafari is already packed with guests looking for the items they sell currently. That one small kitchen is not going to be able to satisfy the demand for pizza currently met by Pizzafari AND the demand for burgers and fries currently met by Restaurantosaurus.

Not when I’ve been there - but that’s extremely anecdotal.

Admittedly I rarely go into Pizzafari since the park has several better offerings. But the last time I did it was difficult to find a table.

Oh I never go to eat! That’s a mistake I only made once. But I’m a sucker for Joe and company designs and will wander in and around flame tree, pizafari, etc. - I hope they keep that Rohde painting from the restrauntosaurus and they don’t destroy it!

They have French fries on the kids menu already, might be to add more fryers or other kitchen equipment/ reorganizing

Hopefully a new permanent place for burgers is built in time for TA and the increased attendance it'll bring to DAK, so that Haramabe Market can revert to its intended menu
Ideally burger would be delegated to Discovery Island (like pizza is) as it doesn't really fit any of the other lands

I presume whatever Restaurantosaurus converts into will serve burgers in a few years.

Hopefully not - avatar has kept its great menu so hopefully tropical Americas will too.

I'm hoping it doesn't
Considering how rich the cuisine of Latin America is, it'd be a shame to waste kitchen and menu space on burgers
If they're unwilling to build a proper burger venue, it should instead take over Flame Tree and move barbecue into TA

I think it’s far more likely that burgers will stay in Harambe. I highly doubt they will unveil a brand new venue in tropical Americas with a menu of standard burgers. They will use the addition to market a new menu and cuisine that’s unique in the park.
The Harambe market has already struggled to find a set of offerings with enough appeal. Which is why it’s already had multiple complete menu revamps in its short lifespan and was most recently operating as more of a Satuli lite than as an African inspired offering.
Simpsons tie-in: Steamed Harams
With the advent of the Casita and the Encanto familia, I wonder if Disney will push the envelope a little and offer dishes based on non-traditional proteins...
Like a Cap-Cap sandwich -- large mushroom caps with capybara tenderloin strips on a toasted sourdough bun...

Be nice if at least they have options for different, more appropriate flavors on the burgers vs just like cheddar cheese and ketchup
Don't have to go too crazy but at least make it feel like not the same burgers you can get 20 other places at WDW

Yes. I am hoping whilst they have a basic burger for those who want it they are able to put some African flare into their menu. To be fair DAK's food game is strong so I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Clickbait? From the folks over at Corlessland? I don't believe it. /s

I'm guessing it's going to stay the basic menu place for awhile. The US market isn't super experienced with African food (me included). If I was personally picking which QS to eat lunch at on most days at AK:
- Satu'li
- Flame Tree
- Harambe
- Yak & Yeti
- Restaurantosaurus
- Pizzafari
