Will Bobby Flay Open Bobby's Burger Palace in Boston?

This morning brought news that celebrity chef Bobby Flay was planning to expand his burger concept, Bobby's Burger Palace, to Massachusetts with a location headed for Burlington, the so-called "capital city of Route 128" (so-called by the vice president of a Burlington real estate development firm). But is Flay just testing the MA waters before opening up shop in Boston proper? When asked if Bobby's Burger Palace was looking at other locations in the area, a rep passed along a message from Flay’s business partner, who said “We’re always looking at spaces but nothing is confirmed yet.” So it would appear that there's at least a chance that Bobby's Burger Palace might use the burbs as a staging ground before coming to town, aka pull an H Mart.
