Flay Hopes To Cook The Competition With New Restaurant

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - It's as American as apple pie. Who doesn't love a good burger and order of french fries? If you throw in a shake and onion rings, you've got the heart of the menu at celebrity chef Bobby Flay's new restaurant in Dadeland Mall.

CBS4 Morning Anchor, Rhiannon Ally, gives us a sneak peek at the menu at Bobby's Burger Palace. Flay said Miami is the perfect location.

"Burgers and fries are a part of America's landscape and always will be, no matter what's hot or cold in the food business," Flay said.

And he said, Miami's food scene keeps heating up, which is why he chose it for the location of his 17th Burger Palace location.

"Why not Miami? Miami's cool. It really is. It's changed so much over the last decade or so. All for the good. The food has gotten to be as exciting as possible," Flay said. "The international flavor, so the food tastes really good here. There's also incredible energy, great weather, beaches, and everybody looks good."

The menu wouldn't be complete without a nod to Miami. It's a complete inspiration from the Cuban sandwich. The burger is pressed, with Swiss cheese, smoked ham, mustard, mayo, pickle. This burger really stands out.

If burgers aren't your thing, perhaps you'll like one of his famous shakes. His onion rings and hand-cut French fries are also sure to be big hits. But the burgers are the real stars of this restaurant.

"If you want to go home thinking about your burger 3 days later, this is the place to come to," said Flay.
