Frita Chosen As Florida's Best Burger
The Food Network Magazine's June/July issue, which hits newsstands on May 5, has a feature on the 50 best burgers across the country, one for each state. Florida's winner is the frita — that wonderfully satisfying fried Cuban burger topped with crispy shredded potatoes — from El Rey de las Fritas. Here's what the magazine says about it:
This spot’s name means “King of the Fried Burger,” a fair claim: The small Miami chain reportedly has family ties to Havana’s first restaurant specializing in the frita, Cuba’s take on a slider. The thin, beef-and-chorizo patties are fried, then topped with shoestring fries and a secret tomato-based sauce.We wouldn't exactly call it the best burger in the state, but it's a not a bad choice as a unique Florida burger specialty.
