Bobby Flay Texas Burger. Juicy, delicious, topped with slaw and BBQ Sauce. Perfect crowd pleasing burger for your next back yard cookout.
As the official Team Captain for picking meals around here, I must say I don’t know why this Bobby Flay Juicy Texas Burger ended up being my last choice. Don’t you just hate being the last one “picked”??? Bobby Flay Texas Burger. Juicy, delicious, topped with slaw and BBQ Sauce.
You see…I’ve had this recipe in my data base for..oh.. I don’t know…years. Whenever it’s was time to pick an out of the ordinary burger recipe for dinner, I’d slowly study all of the candidates and would always call out someone else’s burger recipe. Well, a friend of mine has called out a Burger Club Challenge, featuring Chef Bobby Flay burgers. What a great reason to finally give this a try.
The burger: First of all, I’m pretty darn picky about coleslaw. It’s gotta have just the right sweet, sour tangy combo for my liking and was reluctant to try someone else’s recipe.
Oh I know, I could have made my own coleslaw recipe and thrown it on this burger, but with a real celebrity chef involved, I do like to stick to their recipes to make sure I’m experiencing the flavors of the dish just as the chef intended.
I have to admit, Chef Flay’s coleslaw is a nice, no-fuss recipe perfect for this burger.
For the BBQ sauce, choose something bold and smoky for this recipe. The flavor will come through loud and clear and we. thought it paired well with the coleslaw.
For the pickles, I used slices of my homemade sweet and spicy dills.
I followed Chef Flay’s instructions to the T and I must say this is one mighty fine burger and will be my first pick when I’m wanting a fancified burger option.
I loved his tip of glazing the burger with the BBQ Sauce while cooking. I’m rating this Three Stars…Liked and will make it again. I didn’t give it a 4 star rating because I truly love a simple grilled cheeseburger, with a little onion and fresh tomato…and mustard only please.

August 9, 2010 at 11:46 pmI love coleslaw on barbequed pork sandwiches, I bet it’s fabulous on burgers!

August 11, 2010 at 1:17 pmIt was real good on that burger Pam! Thanks for stopping by.

August 10, 2010 at 1:56 amMy husband goes nuts for Bobby Flay. Bobby can provide an awesome recipe for making an over the top burger. God, this one looks fabulous. I think you nailed this challenge.
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:19 pmI’ve got to try more of his burgers. There’s some awfully good ones posted over at the challenge, and I have a feeling we’ve just scratched the surface.
Vickie says
August 10, 2010 at 2:39 amI love that you included a beautiful shot of that perfect cabbage. I think veggies are such beautiful subjects – which is obvious when You flip through my camera. 🙂
What a great burger and I’m making notes on the cole slaw recipe. I’ve never found one I loved, so this will get a try very soon!
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:20 pmI have to admit, KFC makes a pretty good slaw. I get mine just right about one in every 5 times. I do think I’d add a tad more sugar in Bobby’s. It’s a good recipe.
Barbara @ VinoLuciStyle says
August 10, 2010 at 2:53 amI just made a dish of Bobby Flay’s – Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad with Chipotle Dressing. Don’t worry, you’ll see it later this week! But I’ve never been unhappy with his recipes…especially since I love to 1. Grill and 2. Like a little heat/spice.
So I’m perplexed why he has so many haters…well, at least as evidenced at http://www.foodnetworkhumor.com. A lot of what they say and do slays me, it does, but I can wince when they rag on Bobby. Maybe he’s a jerk; I don’t know…but that boy can cook!
I’ve been making all my own sauces this summer (well, did have a ribs throwdown after all) but you really like the brand at Tony’s? I would just like to find one that doesn’t have the ingredient list start with High Fructose Corn Syrup. Any chance they qualify?
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:20 pmI’ll check that label Barb.
My Kitchen in the Rockies says
August 9, 2010 at 10:50 pmI love coleslaw with barbecued meat. So, this burger sounds and looks very delicious. I wonder why I have never thought about putting the coleslaw directly on the burger. Great recipe. Thanks, Lea Ann.
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:17 pmI wondered that same thing. I’ve put it on pork sandwiches…but never came to mind with a burger. Thanks Kirsten
Zia Liz says
August 10, 2010 at 1:31 amI like the idea of combining the coleslaw with the burger (and it sounds like really good coleslaw). Just might have to break my burger resolution and try this one!
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:18 pmYou have a burger resolution?????
Joanne says
August 10, 2010 at 3:29 amI loved my Bobby burger also! This one looks like a SERIOUS ultimate burger. I’m glad you found a new coleslaw recipe and that bobby didn’t disappoint!
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:21 pmGonna have to have me some more of his burgers. This one hit the spot.
Cathy at Wives with Knives says
August 10, 2010 at 1:13 pmYum, I love a big scoop of coleslaw on top of my burger. I usually like Bobby’s recipes and will give this one a try. I’ll keep my eye open for Tony’s BBQ sauce.
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:23 pmIt’s a local product, not sure you can find it.
mick says
August 10, 2010 at 1:29 pmYUMMERS! The folks at your house are mighty lucky!
Natashya says
August 10, 2010 at 10:43 amYum! I love Bobby’s burgers – this one looks like a winner!
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:22 pmThanks Natashya and thanks for stopping by.
Reeni says
August 10, 2010 at 10:26 pmBobby is so right about about basting the burger in BBQ sauce. It gives it an amazing flavor. I love everything about this one – would be a big favorite in my house! And how cool that you found a new recipe for coleslaw – although yours sounds pretty darn good. Thanks for joining in the fun!
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:23 pmYou know I’ll be basting burgers with bbq sauce again and again. Delicious.
Chris says
August 11, 2010 at 3:15 amAnother very good burger in this series and this one is one of my favorites because I LOVE slaw on a hamburger. My absolutely favorite burger is a “Carolina burger” topped with slaw, onions, chili and mustard….YUM.
I also like the celery seed in the cole slaw, it’s not slaw without it for me:)
Juliana says
August 10, 2010 at 9:54 pmWow, this burger looks delicious…love the coleslaw in it…YUMMIE!
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 1:24 pmI can’t imagine coleslaw without celery seed Chris, I agree. What kind of chili?
Larry says
August 11, 2010 at 6:22 pmI’ve not made a Bobby Flay I didn’t like and that looks like a burger we’ll have to try. I might have to put a little homemade pimento cheese on though.
leaannbrown says
August 11, 2010 at 9:58 pmThis is my first Flay burger and am anxious to try some of the others I’ve seen! I might have to pay more attention to Mr. Flay!
