Allen Susser to open Burger Bar in Palm Beach, more locations to come

Celebrity chef Allen Susser is doing much more than opening up a second location—he seems to be creating a strategy to take over the whole burger industry.

The James Beard Award winner has teamed up with real estate giant Tom Prakas and developers George and Lee Heaton to open a Burger Bar in Palm Beach Gardens in October, and map out a strategy to open more locations throughout South Florida and nationwide, according to a press release.

“Combining Burger Bar’s quality gastropub fare and great ambiance with some of the area’s most covetable sites is going to take the burger concept, already an established American icon, to the next level,” Susser said.

“The stars aligned with this collaboration, and we’re fortunate to be able to combine our respective areas of expertise to bolster the South Florida dining scene.”

The first Burger Bar is located in Terminal Four of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and offers gourmet burgers ranging between 11.50 to $18 (see burger menu below).

The new location would be in Donald Ross Village and a third one is already set to open in the Vero Beach Resort and Spa in March of 2012.

The Sun Sentinel also reports that there are plans to open up to 15 Burger Bar locations in South Florida next year.
