The truth of the matter is that I had lost faith in The Local. After Chef Alberto Cabrera’s (Little Bread) exit, there seemed to be a loss of focus on the food.

Enter Chef Phil Bryant.

I had met Phil when he was at Swine where he created one of the greatest Burgers to ever grace this earth, the Swine Burger. I later found out from Alberto that Phil had also created the Burger I liked so much from the Local at the 2011 Burgerliscious competition in Coral Gables. It turns out that Phil had worked briefly at the Local before his stints at Yardbird & Swine. In other words, Chef Phil Bryant is South Florida’s Best Burger Chef.

Now he’s back at The Local where he’s creating some killer Southern inspired comfort food. Don’t just take my word for it, look at the pictures below and you’ll see what I mean.

You’d have to be a fool to skip out on eating here.

And of course, don’t forget to order the Burger.
