...series follows Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), a U.S. Marshal who has been booted from a plum post in Miami after a high-profile shooting garnered unwanted publicity: he beat a mobster to the draw western-style, though at a table at a fancy restaurant. The bureau moves him to Harlan County, Kentucky, where Givens grew up and which he then escaped - running from, among other things, a criminal father who's now in jail...

Bill's is about to open the largest independently owned hamburger restaurant in the world, a 500-plus-seat meat cathedral in New York City's Rockefeller Center, and the Shake Shack is next opening up in Miami, Dubai and, word has it, London. But each restaurant's primary burger would be easily recognizable to Warren G. Harding.
