"We know, as a brand, that guests are looking for unique dining experiences, which means we need to go where the guest is in life. That's why we created the Better Burger Lab™ in our flagship restaurant to craft distinctive experiences and get real-time feedback from guests," said Carl Bachmann, CEO of BurgerFi International. "The Better Burger Lab™ will be the launching pad for innovation we plan to introduce across our system. Guests can try our new Fried Chicken Sandwich as a sneak peek preview only in NYC and our Breakfast Everything Bagel Burger is an exclusive NYC store product offering."

Guests will also be able to try the new Prime Rib Burger, Fried and Grilled Chicken sandwiches, Grilled Chicken salad bowl, and NYC-only wing flavors such as Ghost Pepper Honey Jumbo Chicken Wings and Lemon Pepper Jumbo Chicken Wings and a Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich.

The Better Burger Lab is the first of its kind for the brand, bringing guests a delicious and unique experience. The brand will be testing products at the Better Burger Lab™ that will not be available elsewhere.
