Travelers flying out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport have new dining options to grab a bite before their flight.  On Wednesday, the new Crystals at Sky Harbor Food Hall celebrated its grand opening.

Celebrity chef-backed Bobby's Burgers joins four other restaurants that are now open at The Crystals. Local company Pedal Haus Brewery has a new location, along with Berry Divine Acai Bowls, eegee's and Chick-fil-A. The food hall is located in Terminal 4 in the eighth concourse.

The burger joint comes from celebrity chef Bobby Flay, who attended a ribbon-cutting event at the airport where he helped introduce the new dining destination. Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego officially cut the ribbon and Chad Makovsky, the airport's aviation services director, and Grove, Inc. CEO Nina Madonia also attended. Grove is the company that brought the franchise location of Bobby's Burgers to Phoenix.

Bobby's Burgers has locations around the country, many of which are inside casinos. There are locations in Las Vegas at Paris, Harrah's and Caesars Palace. The chain also includes restaurants at Harrah's properties in New Orleans and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The new Phoenix location is the first in an airport, and the first in Arizona.
