Chef Josh Carrol served up everything from thrice-fried French fries (exactly what you'd imagine) to a new bravo burger, combining a sun dried tomato spread with two types of cheese and an all-natural ground beef patty on a brioche bun. Don't forget to feast your eyes on the Kobe beef meatball sliders, topped with marinara sauce and hand-stretched mozzarella cheese.
