Equip your hands with very real edibles with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of burgers, drinks, and more at Cheeseburger Baby in Miami Beach.
Hailed as one of the best places to spot celebrities in Miami by the Miami New Times blog, Cheeseburger Baby boasts a menu of Angus burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs alongside a bevy of esculent accouterments. Warm up shy palates with six saucy buffalo wings ($6), a steak quesadilla ($7.50), or a half-dozen 2.5-ounce baby cheeseburgers ($11) before moving on to bigger burger pastures with a half-pound bacon hamburger ($6.50) or a 1-pound double cheeseburger ($11.50). The burger boutique pairs lonely patties, like an overzealous dating site, with a plethora of extras, including pepper-jack cheese, grilled onions, fried eggs, jalapeños, and chili ($1 each). Dive mouth-first into the honey-barbecue chicken-finger sandwich ($7), the hot dog bathed in homemade chili ($4.50), or flirty french fries canoodling with debonair cheddar cheese ($4.50).
Soak in the sun on the backyard patio, or put your copy of the Field Guide to Celebrities of North America to good use in the dining room. The venerable burger joint is a celebrity-sighting hotspot, feeding big names from Kanye West and Fat Joe to Gabrielle Union and Fat Albert.
