Stephanie Vitori
If you are looking for a delicious burger in the Magic City it isn’t too hard to find, but if you’re looking for the original, look no further than Cheeseburger Baby. Known to many locals as “The Queen of South Beach,” delivery driver turned owner, Stephanie Vitori, purchased the store back in 2004. She, an openly gay female entrepreneur, transformed it from a South Beach dive to a must for celebrities and tourists alike. As the only female owned burger business in Miami Beach, she also makes it a priority to be an equal opportunity workplace with a focus of empowering women in the community of all backgrounds. After getting 3 food trucks on the road and opening a concession at Club Level in the Hard Rock Stadium, Steph’s Cheeseburger Baby has become a South Florida staple. With the simple business model, “Keepin’ it Classic,” Cheeseburger Baby serves only the best handcrafted guilty pleasures since 2001.
