Much-maligned yet wildly popular chef Guy Fieri has returned to Times Square. The Mayor of Flavortown is back in business with a new ghost kitchen in Manhattan, called Flavortown Kitchen, located at 1540 Broadway, at the corner of West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue. The NYC burger-and-wings shop is one of dozens of Flavortown Kitchen shops that have recently opened up across the country, with other locations popping up in cities including Vegas, Dallas, Boston, and Washington, D.C.
Each identical menu showcases a colorful array of Fieri-branded creations including jalapeño pig poppers stuffed with andouille sausage and pimento cream cheese and wrapped in bacon; bourbon brown sugar barbecue wings; and S-M-Cheesesteak egg rolls. (For those unfamiliar with Fieri-speak, SMC stands for “Super Melty Cheese,” naturally.)

The Beast-style burger at Mr. Beast, as seen on a car dashboard in a Barnes & Noble parking lot in Virginia Beach, Va., in January 2021. MrBeast is not a traditional restaurant, in the sense that you can t actually go there. They also lack so much as a phone number. The burger spot instead has a shadowy and somewhat tenuous existence: findable only on delivery apps, and only if your address happens to fall within the delivery radius.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - I have arrived at a neutral location - the parking lot of a Virginia Beach Barnes & Noble - to procure a bag of hamburgers that can t be found at any restaurant.
