2. Burger concept with ‘Top Chef’ clout
John Tesar’s new Knife Burger fast-casual concept is slated to be the centerpiece of a 16,000-square-foot food hall planned for Fort Worth, Texas. Tesar has two other locations of the concept in the works, with one planned as an add-on to his steakhouse Knife, set to open in Plano, Texas, next year. Knife Burger features tablet-based ordering and a simple menu of a few burger options, avocado fries, a salad and shakes.
