THE BEEF SIDE
Hard contact creates browned, crisp edges through the Maillard reaction while the centre stays juicy.
Our smash burger process
NOT A BURGER
CHAIN. GOOD.
Why we smash
THE CRUST IS
THE POINT.
Our smash burger process starts with Certified Angus Beef® because the burger is only as good as the beef underneath it. It hits a ripping-hot steel griddle and gets pressed thin—hard and fast—so the first side develops dark, lacy edges and a proper Maillard crust.
But that is only half the move. Paper-thin raw onion is pressed directly into the patty, and the exposed beef gets a hit of classic yellow mustard. When we flip it, the mustard caramelizes against the steel while the onion cooks underneath, basting in the rendered beef juices instead of drying out.
One side brings the deep beef crust. The other brings a tangy mustard sear wrapped around sweet, beef-basted onion. That double-sided finish is the SMASHED difference.

BUILD THE
DOUBLE SEAR.
Tap the griddle through four moves and see how our smash burger process builds two completely different sears.
01 · Beef down
CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF® MEETS STEEL.
The beef hits a ripping-hot griddle while it is still loose enough to spread, lace and build maximum contact.
Why the flip matters
THE ONION SIDE
Raw shaved onion gets trapped beneath the flipped patty and bastes in rendered Certified Angus Beef juices.
THE MUSTARD SEAR
Yellow mustard caramelizes on the steel, forming a tangy second crust that shields the onion and keeps the flavour locked in.
