Chef Bobby Flay was signing copies of his book Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries and Shakes outside of Mesa Grill inside Caesars Palace today. Here: We’re going to save you $20 or whatever Flay is charging you to learn how to improve your burgers, fries and, um, shakes. Burgers: Use oregano. Fries: Double down on the salt. Shakes: Bourbon and plenty of it. Actually, go back and throw some bourbon in those burgers too. And maybe dump it all over the fries. Trust us.
