A burger called the "Dad Bod" comes topped with Maytag blue cheese, truffle mushroom, purple caramelized onions and a sunny-side-up fried egg.
The "Decadent Dog" is a foot-long Kobe beef hot dog with truffle oil, sautéed lobster and garlic butter served with Parmesan fries.
They are signature dishes of B Square Burgers & Booze, a "cutting-edge, casual concept" restaurant that recently opened at 1021 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, across from Louie Bossi's Ristorante Bar Pizzeria.

The concept was developed by Thomas Febbraio, Marc Katzenberg and Rafael Palomino, three restauranteurs from the New York-Connecticut area with more than five decades of combined culinary experience, according to a news release.
"B Square is bringing something unique and refreshing to Fort Lauderdale's dining scene," said Febbraio, one of the principals. "Our vision was to create a menu offering refined dishes from light, health-conscious salads to hearty gourmet burgers."

Opening of the restaurant was originally scheduled by early April, but it was delayed until late August by "several unexpected construction delays that went on for a longer period of time than we anticipated," according to a statement by the owners.
