Bobby Flay's Retro Burgers

The Early Show's Resident Chef Opening First Burger Joint; Shares Recipes From Its Menu

(CBS)  Bobby Flay opens his sixth restaurant on New York's Long Island next week, one where The Early Show's resident chef will be serving burgers -- retro burgers -- with the works!

Long a fan of Americana cuisine, Flay will be making up retro meals of premium patties with all sorts of toppings, sauces, fries and shakes at the upscale . He plans to franchise them all over the country.

On the show Thursday, Flay served up some of the hottest recipes from the menu, a gourmet throwback to the classic burger joints that are a part of Americana pop culture

Flay's first love has always been the grill, and when he combined it with authentic American flavors, he came up with the offerings of Bobby's Burger Palace. There'll ten signature burgers to pick from.

Flay's recipes come from his various cookbooks, inspirations he's learned on the road, and the flavors that he loves. His burgers range from a Napa Valley Burger with a hint of citrus flavor to a Philly burger done with Provolone with peppers and onions, to a cheeseburger with both Brie and goat cheese.

Sauces will include chipotle ketchup, BBP Burger sauce, and jalapeno hot sauce. All burgers will be made from Angus Beef, and his buns will be potato.

You can add potato chips to all of your burgers for "crunchification," and for sides, you can get hot potato chips with a blue cheese béchamel dip or fries with Bobby's secret fry sauce.

Hey, Bobby! When can I expect to see one of your Burger Joints in Manhattan? Not fair that those people on the Igland get to partake of your burgers and we 5 Boro dudes get... Shake Shack.

Was not aware of Bobby''s new place, and just happened to stop there last evening. Let me say it was a wonderful surprise! Burgers were great, staff was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was nice, but there were not many customers (as I dont think they are "officially" opened). Lots of staff (as I think they are being trained before the grand opening). Burgers are mostly $7.50 and sides are $3. Nice choice of beverages..shakes, soda, etc. Limited beer/wine choices. Would definately recommend this place. Good Luck Bobby with this new venture!

Wonder where he came up with the idea of putting chips on the burger sandwich. I am 57 years old and my younger sister and I have been doing that since we were small children!

There''s nothing traditional about any of these. Traditional would be the drive thrus and burger joints. Meat cheese (optional) ketchup or mustard (or both) onions. lettuce. Chipolte?? horseradish mustard?? Not that these can''t be good but are not traditional.
