EAT: BurgerFi, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Doesn't the East Coast deserve some gluten free burger love? The West Coast has In-N-Out Burger, but us East Coasters feel left out. No more! BurgerFi offers their burgers "Green Style" where you can order your burger on a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. As always, be sure to notify your server that you are gluten free. BurgerFi cannot guarantee gluten free status, but Julie, our server, passed our allergy issues on to the kitchen. 

I ordered the BurgerFi Cheeseburger "Green Style," which has two patties. I highly recommend adding Bacon for a small extra charge. It was very good and tasted very similar to In-N-Out's Double Double Protein Style. Also, I order both without the sauce. 

The fries are not in a dedicated fryer, so they were a no-go. The hot dogs can also be ordered "Green Style." BurgerFi carries its green trend into environmentally sustainable practices like chairs made out of recycled Coke bottles, tables made with recycled wood, and large fans in the restaurant to conserve energy. BurgerFi is definitely working to reduce its carbon footprint.  

Another highlight is that BurgerFi (in Fort Lauderdale) sells Mexican Coke, Sprite, and Fanta. All have sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup (Fanta has modified food starch (corn)).

For those of you who can drink regular Coke products, BurgerFi has a Coke machine with unusual additions added like raspberry, lemon, lime, and vanilla. 

BurgerFi has 80 locations throughout the U.S., mainly on the Eastern half of the US. It offers antibiotic and hormone free grass-fed beef. With the addition of the "Green Style" option, BurgerFi gives those of us with Celiac, gluten intolerance, and gluten allergy, an opportunity to enjoy a delicious gluten free burger!
