Favorite style of Burger: A double Natural Angus burger with double American cheese, tomato and BurgerFi sauce wrapped in lettuce. It doesn’t get better than that!

Favorite Childhood Burger: The standard American cheeseburger. You can never go wrong with a true classic.

Burger that haunts your dreams at night: The thought of having to eat at any of our competitors’ restaurants.

What is the one Burger you’ve always wanted to try, but still have not: A triple stacked burger. We offer them, but I have yet to sink my teeth into three burger patties in just one sitting. It’s definitely something to add to my BurgerFi dining bucket list.

The secret to making a great Burger: It’s simple! Great burgers are always created with all-natural, vegetarian-fed beef and contain no chemicals or additives.

Under no circumstances whatsoever, what should NEVER be put on a Burger: I enjoy having a variety of toppings to choose from, but I would never put sweet fruits like pineapple on a burger. I’m not a fan of adding sweet toppings. It’s too overpowering.

If you could eat any Mythical Creature which would it be: None. I would never want to eat a mythical creature.

If you could have a Burger with anyone alive, or dead, fictional or real, who would it be and where would you take them: I would love to have a burger with Winston Churchill because I know that if I were dining with him the drinks would be never-ending. Of course, I would take Churchill to BurgerFi. It would be amazing to hear his opinion on our burger and drink selection. I’m sure he would be a huge fan!

Name one Burger in LA that for once, people should get off a plane and go eat instead of In-N-Out: BurgerFi. We’re actually opening a BurgerFi location in LA in the future.

BURGERFI IS NOW IN NYC

The BurgerFication of the Nation® Spreads to New York City
All-Natural Burger Franchise BurgerFi® to Open First NYC Location

NEW YORK – The BurgerFication of the Nation® that began in Florida, continues, as the all-natural burger franchise BurgerFi® opens the doors to its first New York City location at 1571 Second Avenue (at East 82^nd Street). When it comes to the iconic American meal of a burger, fries and a Coke, BurgerFi® and its “all natural tastes better” approach is ever-present through its unwavering dedication to high-quality ingredients and eco-sustainability.

Known as the “heart” of the burger movement, BurgerFi® brings a modern and healthy twist to the classic favorite roadside burger stand of the 50s and 60s, serving great-tasting food made from all-natural ingredients in a beautifully decorated fast-casual environment that features environmentally sustainable elements like recycled furniture and fans that use 66% less electricity.

BurgerFi® has reinvented the burger from the ground up, standing apart from other “better burger” franchises. BurgerFi® burgers are made from all-natural Angus beef from cattle that are humanely raised, 100% antibiotic and hormone free, and sustainably-farmed. The made-to-order menu also includes a tremendous variety of specialty items like Wagyu Kobe beef hot dogs, daily prepared vegetarian quinoa burgers, hand cut fries and onion rings, a variety of specialty toppings, gluten-free options, frozen custards, natural cane sugar sodas, craft beer and wine, and more.

Nick King, Chief Operating Officer at BurgerFi® International says, “I’m thrilled that BurgerFi® will have a presence in New York City and become part of the city’s tremendous food culture. BurgerFi® believes our ‘farm to tray’ approach – better for both our customers and the environment – as well as our delicious variety of food and unique dining experience are all components that diners feel good about, and keeps them coming back for more.”

The BurgerFi® philosophy is “all natural tastes better,” and New York City customers will be able to get a taste for themselves and sink their teeth into one of the BurgerFi® signature name-branded (literally) hamburger buns on February 9, 2013. The franchise also offers online ordering via their website at www.burgerfi.com. The BurgerFi® opening in New York City is the first of two planned Manhattan locations, and will put the franchise one step closer to having 16 locations open by the end of February, with over 60 total restaurants set to be opened nationwide by the end of 2013.
