The Flame Broiler
Healthy chicken bowls and beef bowls
“No MSG. No frying. No trans fat. Just delicious, guaranteed. Tender beef. Succulent chicken. Try it. You’ll love it. The Flame Broiler. The rice bowl king.” That’s the pitch of the Flame Broiler restaurant. Founder Young Lee wanted to create a better, healthier alternative to fast food. He opened his first restaurant in Fullerton, California. Customers can choose from a variety of chicken and beef and veggie bowls as well as plates, chicken, beef, and ribs, that include salad and seasonal fruit. The Flame Broiler franchisees receive training on all aspects of the business in addition to startup and ongoing support.
