Gigi Zumbado dishes on her ideal day in Miami, where she was born and raised before pursuing her Hollywood acting dreams. If given 24 hours in her hometown, she says you can find her spending most of her time at a family-run restaurant chain called Flanigan’s. The 28-year-old actress admits her obsession is a “Florida thing” when we spoke to her during her press run for the action-comedy ‘Bride Hard,’ starring opposite Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp.

“Flanigan's is the best place on the planet!” – Gigi Zumbado

“I can give you some great Cuban recommendations. I can give you some beautiful golf courses and beaches. Gigi Zumbado, if I have 24 hours in Miami, I am held up out of Flanigan's.”

The Cuban-American actress, known for her roles in “The Rookie” and “Bridge and Tunnel,” currently lives in Los Angeles, CA, but she’s itching for the food franchise to expand to the West Coast.

“It's the best restaurant on the planet. I'm dying for someone to bring them out to LA it's the best food you'll ever eat in your life,” Zumbado said. Her idea of a good day is at “a Flanigan's with a water view,” ideally, the Weston, FL location. “It's the best Flanigan's. I will be sitting there all day drinking a nice mojito with some ribs.”

“If you ever go to Florida, they're all up the coast. Flanigan's is the best place on the planet,” Kramer said about her favorite Florida hot spot. According to the website, they are a laid-back, one-stop shop serving a “something-for-everyone menu” featuring signature dishes, like Legendary Baby Back Ribs.

In true Zumbado fashion, the self-proclaimed “food chain” lover recommended another popular hot spot when visiting Miami.

“Or I find a Margaritaville, but I do that in LA too. I'm a chain girl. I'm really tacky. I love a good chain,” Zumbado joked.

While the actress was in good spirits about her hometown favorites, she also dished on her “challenging” experience filming with a prosthetic belly as Zoe, a very pregnant bridesmaid in ‘Bride Hard.’


“I'm still traumatized,” Zumbado admitted while briefly walking off the junket interview. “I bow down to every woman...I called my mom. I said, Mom, I'm so sorry,” she laughed.

After wearing the fake baby bump, Zumbado says she’s not considering having kids of her own in the future. “It’s not going to happen for me. I can't do this. It's not for me.”
