Bobby Flay's 'Most-Ordered' Restaurant Burger Relies On This Special Sauce

There's no doubt about it — Bobby Flay can whip up a great burger. Known for showcasing his love of the grill on shows like "BBQ Brawl" and "Grill It! With Bobby Flay," the celebrity chef and Food Network star recently shared how he creates the signature grilled burgers at Bobby's Burgers by Bobby Flay, his restaurant with 11 locations across the U.S. In a TikTok, Flay shared how he creates the Palace Classic, the most-ordered burger at Bobby's Burgers — and a large part of the burger's signature flavor comes down to its spicy, mayonnaise-loaded sauce.

In the video, Flay blends a handful of flavor-packed ingredients in a food processor to create Bobby's sauce. Flay always keeps piquillo peppers on hand, so it's no surprise they're in there. He adds chipotle peppers to the mix and spoons in a load of mayonnaise. It also looks like he adds salt and another spice — white pepper, perhaps — to finish off the sauce that sits underneath the beef patty of the fan-favorite burger. But the sauce isn't the only thing you'll need if you want to recreate the Palace Classic at home. 

According to the TikTok and Bobby's Burgers menu, the Palace Classic Cheeseburger includes American cheese (two slices, Flay says in the video), pickle, lettuce, tomato, and Bobby's sauce. Flay says he uses 80/20 beef (using cheaper, high-fat ground beef for burgers adds flavor and moisture). The Bobby's Burgers website says all the burgers at the restaurant are grilled. But in Flay's TikTok, he uses a cast-iron pan. You can go with your personal preference on the cooking method, though for a lot of home cooks, burgers are even better in a cast-iron pan than on the grill.

Bobby's Burgers uses brioche buns, but if you can't find that, you can opt for potato bread buns, milk bread, or challah. Either way, toast up your bun, then load it up with your Bobby's Sauce. We can see why the Palace Classic is the most-ordered burger at the restaurant. It's simple, but the addition of Bobby's Sauce takes it from basic to delectable, with the perfect amount of spice. Whether you go all out and create the Palace Classic burger in your kitchen or decide to simply recreate Bobby's Sauce and use it on everything from burgers to chicken, this smoky, creamy, perfectly savory sauce is bound to become a staple in your fridge.
