MIAMI - Cleveland chef Michael Symon thinks pastrami is the reason his "Fat Doug" hamburger was named top burger yesterday at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival.
His winning burger -- a beef patty topped with his own pastrami, Swiss cheese and coleslaw on a brioche bun -- edged out a spice-crusted burger with slaw and barbecue sauce by fellow Food Network star Bobby Flay. Symon is a winner of the network's "Iron Chef" competition.
His new award is part of the Burger Bash, an annual event at the festival in Miami Beach hosted by Rachael Ray. Chefs from around the country gather on the beach for a massive grill session and let attendees vote for best burger.
Symon's winning burger is a menu staple at his B Spot restaurant in Cleveland.
