It’s not uncommon to spot a celebrity in Connecticut – many big names are from here, or own property here. What is a little more rare is a celebrity-owned restaurant in Connecticut, though a few have popped up over the last few years. If you’ve ever been to Mohegan Sun, it’s likely you’ve seen the casino’s waterfall restaurant, Tuscany. It’s owned by famed celebrity chef Todd English. Not too far away, you’ll find another celebrity restaurant inside of Mohegan Sun: Bobby’s Burger Palace, owned by Bobby Flay, one of the Food Network’s biggest names. This upscale casual burger joint once had nearly 20 locations all over the country, but most have closed over the years and we’re lucky enough to still have one in Connecticut.

Bobby Flay has worked with the Food Network for more than 30 years and is now one of the world's most renowned celebrity chefs. He even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Flay owns several restaurants, one of which is Bobby's Burger Palace. This is the only remaining location in the northeast.

The atmosphere is slightly upscale while still remaining casual - you certainly won't be uncomfortable stopping in here to take a break from a day of hitting the slots, but it's also nice enough that you could eat here as a date.

The focus here combines novelty with familiarity: sure, burgers are common, but the toppings here are often creative and based on Flay's travels throughout the United States.

One unique aspect of the burgers at Bobby's Burger Palace is that any of them can be "crunchified" with the addition of potato chips at no extra charge.

There are options for vegetarians, too! Any burger is available with a veggie burger instead of Angus patty, and you can also get a delicious grilled cheese sandwich.

Make sure to save room for dessert! The shakes here are legendary, and made with 11 ounces of real ice cream for a top-quality product.
