A Fort Lauderdale Landmark Where Family and Flavor Meet! 🍔🍪

In this special "Who’s at The Chef’s Table" feature, Chef Dan and Doris WithaD sit down for a deep dive into the legacy of Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill. This isn't just a restaurant; it’s a masterclass in hospitality and a testament to the power of independent, "Mom and Pop" establishments.

Join us as we talk with the Gilbert family about their journey, their unwavering commitment to quality, and the fascinating story of how a local food critic discovered what many now call the best burger in South Florida. We also explore the sweet side of the business, including the famous treats from Little Gilbert’s Cookie Company and their legendary Key Lime Pie.

What we explored in this interview:

The true story behind their award-winning burger and the philosophy of "taste over novelty."

The evolution of a family business that treats every customer like an old friend.

A look into the creative process behind their homemade desserts and signature comfort food.

Why staying independent and focused on the local community has been the key to their decades of success.
