Not at Penn!
The DP reported today that Bobby Flay is interested in opening a “Bobby’s Burger Palace” in the Radian.
Dear Bobby Flay,
PLEASE DON’T.
The last thing Penn needs is another burger joint. We have Blaze in Houston, McDonald’s on 40th and A&W in the food court. Not to mention Top This which replaced Chic-Fil-A — worst decision EVER — in Commons and the other restaurants that feature burgers on their menus like Copa and Marathon.
Not only that, but I’m pretty sure the Pottruck-addicted students that run rampant on this campus will have no interest in eating at your “Palace”.
Why not bring in a Southwestern style restaurant like your own Mesa Grill, but cheaper? Unlike the abundance of burger joints, there is a real lack of good Tex-Mex restaurants in University City. Distrito may have just brought in some Mexican flavor, but tapas are not going to satisfy my desire for a hearty meal.
So, Mr. Flay, please keep your burger joint away.
xoxo,
Abby

There may be a good amount of places where you can get something called a burger around campus, but I think there isn’t really a good burger at any of the places you mentioned. Blarney Stone has a good one for a good price, and that discovery made my senior year happier.
That said, I’d welcome a burger place if it was authentic - though I’m not sure a Bobby Flay place would be.
That said, I could definitely go for some good Tex Mex.
