The Birth of the Smash Burger

While burgers have been an American staple for decades, the Smash Burger brings a unique twist. It’s not just about grilling a patty; it’s about 'smashing' it onto a scorching hot griddle, which creates an unparalleled crispy crust. The technique ensures a flavorful sear while locking in the juicy tenderness that burger enthusiasts crave.

Why is it Called a Smash Burger?

Simple - the action of "smashing" the burger! As soon as the fresh ground beef hits the griddle, it's firmly pressed down with a heavy spatula, causing it to spread out and form that characteristic thin patty. The result? A burger that boasts a crispy exterior and a juicy interior - a combination that's simply irresistible.
