Pincho Factory is celebrating five successful years with a 5 Years, 5 Days, 5 Chefs promotion.
To commemorate the milestone for the Miami-born fast-casual brand, what better way then killer burgers and free beers? For the promotion, Pincho Factory co-owners Nedal Ahmad, Otto Othman and Nizar Ahmad are drafting some of Miami’s hottest chefs and culinary personalities to create five unique burgers, with a different chef’s creation highlighted at both Pincho locations, one a day for five days Monday, November 9 – Friday, November 13, 2015. The crop of chefs cannot be beaten; burger fans are in for a treat. They are Giorgio Rapicavoli (Eating House, Glass & Vine), Jose Mendin (Pubbelly Group), Aaron Brooks (EDGE Steak + Bar), Phil Bryant (Local Craft Food & Drink) and Sef Gonzalez (Miami’s own Burger Beast).

Followed by the opening of the Coral Gables location in October 2013, the concept caught the attention of Lee Schrager, the founder of the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Schrager invited Pincho Factory to participate in the 2015 Amstel Light Burger Bash, where Nedal’s Croquetesa burger won the highly-coveted Amstel Light People’s Choice Award. The team has since opened an outpost in the 300 section of the AmericanAirlines Arena, has several franchise projects in the pipeline and looking forward to the opening of its third corporate store later this year in Hialeah.WHEN/WHERE: Pincho Factory currently has two locations: 9860 SW 40th Street in Miami and 30 Giralda Avenue in Coral Gables. The complimentary beer promotion will be available at both stores on Friday, November 6. The 5 years, 5 days, 5 chefs promotion will run, at both stores, from Monday, November 9 through Friday, November 13.
