Media personality Maps Maponyane recently added restaurant owner to his portfolio. He has opened a burger joint in Johannesburg called Buns Out.
Here's what you need to know about Maps' new baby.
Opening Day
On September 29, Maps revealed that he was stepping into the burger business. But first, he needed his mom's approval.
Couldn't say anything until I brought my toughest critic along, and now that she's happy - I'm Excited to share that I've just opened my first restaurant. A burger spot in Linden, Johannesburg called 'Buns Out'🍔🍟

Come through for a great quality burger! We're open every day.👊🏽 pic.twitter.com/oHUQHhAIDS
Location
Cashing in on the interest, Maps made sure his potential customers knew the spot's address. In case you missed it, No 32, 7th Street, Linden, Randburg, is where it's at.
Opening hours
Buns Out is open seven days a week.
Sunday to Thursday: Noon to 10pm.
Friday and Saturday Noon to 11pm.
So, what's the verdict?
Celebs, pals and industry colleagues (and Maps himself) have been singing Buns Out's praises. Maps has been sharing details of those who have apparently driven far and wide for a bite.
So proud of you @MapsMaponyane , everything you touch turns to GOLD! I will get another one on Sunday! So much love and respect for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/aAkDnl0pMv

A young man supposedly named "Spider-Man", when asked repeatedly what his name is (he even whispers it in your ear when he tells you), came through to @BunsoutL twice this week and he wrote us a letter❤
