Hanging with Mr. Rosatti
From the big rig and cars in the poker run village, the recently opened restaurant with a great location on famous Duval Street and the Superboat-class race boat wrapped in the colors of the up-and-coming burger franchise, you couldn’t go far last week in Key West, Fla., without coming across BurgerFi.
While there are many behind-the-scenes folks who have made BurgerFi the fastest-growing all-natural burger franchise in the country, the driving force behind the company is successful businessman John Rosatti. The owner of the Plaza Auto Mall in Brooklyn, N.Y., as well as several award-winning high-end restaurants, Rosatti is a performance-boat enthusiast with an affinity toward Cigarette Racing models.
