This year, Boulud, Bobby Flay (New York City's Mesa Grill) and Thomas Keller (French Laundry in Napa Valley, Calif.) are opening burger joints. Eric Ripert (New York's Le Bernardin) has put a burger on the menu of his new Washington restaurant, and Hubert Keller (San Francisco's Fleur de Lys) has opened a second Burger Bar in St. Louis, Mo.; he already sells 1,400 burgers each weekend night in Las Vegas...
