One Griddle.
No Compromise.

A converted garage, a single flat-top, and a stubborn belief that a burger is only as good as its crust.

The Beginning

Smashed by Hand, Every Time

We started slinging burgers out of a garage in 2012 with one griddle and a line down the block. The rule was simple then and it's simple now: grind fresh daily, smash thin for maximum crust, and never let a frozen patty touch the steel.

A decade later we've smashed over a million burgers and we still do it the same stubborn way — by hand, to order, on a screaming-hot flat-top.

What We Stand On

The Non-Negotiables

01

Fresh, never frozen

Angus chuck ground every morning, smashed the moment you order. Freezers are for ice cream.

02

Tallow-fried sides

Hand-cut potatoes, twice-fried in rendered beef tallow. Crisp shell, fluffy middle, real flavor.

03

Local to the bone

Buns baked down the street, produce and dairy from within 30 miles. We know our farmers by name.
