President Cheese Burger Baby
Celebrating 25 years of flipping the script on fast-casual dining, Stephanie Vitori is the powerhouse behind Cheese Burger Baby — a Miami Beach institution known for its unapologetically bold flavors, late-night hustle, and cult following that spans celebrities, locals, and late-shift legends alike. Since opening in 2001, Steph has worn every hat in the business — from cook to food truck driver to CEO — building a brand that’s as iconic as the city it calls home.
Under her leadership, Cheese Burger Baby has grown from a single walk-up window into a statewide sensation, now operating three food trucks, concessions at Hard Rock Stadium, a kiosk at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and two kiosks at Daytona International Speedway. Featured on Food Network, Travel Channel, and adored by stars like Jay-Z, Dwyane Wade, and David Beckham, the brand continues to serve up crave-worthy burgers with a side of Miami grit.
Steph is also a fierce advocate for small business resilience, LGBTQ+ visibility, and community empowerment — mentoring young entrepreneurs and feeding frontline workers through hurricanes and hard times. As both the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and Cheese Burger Baby toast their 25th anniversary, Steph continues to lead with grit, flavor, and heart — proving that in Miami, the best stories start with a burger and end with a legacy.
