May is National Burger Month, and to celebrate the occasion, the Mohegan Sun casino will officially unveil its all new Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay with a special re-opening event and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Flay, a celebrity chef who hosts multiple shows on Food Network, is expected to be on hand for the event at the casino, which is located in Uncasville, CT. If you can't wait for the ribbon cutting ceremony, the restaurant had already had its soft opening.

“This refreshed Bobby’s Burgers concept reflects everything I love about great dining: bold flavors, high-quality ingredients and an experience that’s both approachable and exciting,” Flay stated in a release. “Mohegan Sun has been an incredible partner, and I’m excited to celebrate this next evolution together.”

The refresh included adding "design elements consistent with the brand’s presence in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and many more locations, while introducing a more efficient counter-service model that allows for faster ordering and pickup," a press release said.

Here's when Bobby Flay will be at Mohegan Sun.
