Bobby Flay Eyes Bethesda For Possible Burger Palace Location

The Washington Business Journal is reporting that celebrity chef Bobby Flay may be eyeing Bethesda as a possible future location for his national chain Bobby’s Burger Palace.

Flay, a chef, restaurateur, television personality, cookbook author and host of the Food Network’s Throwdown with Bobby Flay told the Washington Business Journal he’s looking to open several of his burger restaurants in the Washington area, with Bethesda as a likely possibility for 2012.

The latest location of the fast-casual burger restaurant opened Tuesday at 2121 K Street Northwest in Washington, D.C. A College Park location is slated to open later this year, according to the Business Journal.

Flay told the Washington Examiner that there were about 400 people waiting in line this week to taste test the fare at the new K Street location. "It's nice that, you know, it seems that Washington, D.C., is at least going to give us a try, that's all that we can ask for," Flay told the Examiner.
