Proof Burger a MUST Eat!




Burger Fans of Miami, drop what you are doing and run to Proof for this burger.  Look at it.  You know you want that bad boy.  

This posts been in the hopper since I ate this burger in September but I neglected to actually finish the post.  Better late than never!

This is THE BEST burger in town.  Trust me on this.  I don't know much but I do know great burgers and this is as good as they get. I must admit that I do not recall the blend and Justin can add a comment here but it was cooked perfectly and full of juicy flavor.  He also bakes his buns in house every day and they pass the bun/burger test, yes the bun lasted until the last bite.

Background - as many of you know I am a huge burger fan and have posted my Best Burgers South Florida for several years.  However, I unintentionally stopped eating burgers over the past two years.  9 year old twins and a long commute have limited my dining opportunities so when I'm at a restaurant I usually shy away from their burger.  

That being said, the Proof burger has been on my radar since Justin added it to the menu last year.  I must admit that it is hard to go to Proof and order the burger.  Justin's menu is that good.  But go for the burger and stay for the pasta and any special he has.  

Proof has been highly ranked on not only on my Best Restaurants in Miami list, which is also do for a major update... but my Best Pizza South Florida list too.  Justin also crushed one of my Cobaya Miami dinners.  His burger will now be ranked VERY highly on my best burger list too.  Stay tuned for that.  

In a nutshell, I've known Justin and his food since his days working under one of the best chefs in town, Gabe Fenton at Bourbon Steak.  Watching a young chef succeed and grow is very rewarding for a food fanatic like me.  He's passionate about his food, hard working and one of Miami's best young chefs.  

This is a chef and restaurant that we, MIAMI,  need to support.
