The warmer weather is just around the corner, and nothing says summer like a nice, juicy burger.

But for restaurant quality, you’re not headed to the grill – that’s right – the best and juiciest burgers are made right on your own stove! Did you know that most restaurants don’t even use a grill to make your favourite burgers? They use a griddle, and what is the equivalent to that in the home kitchen? Your stove and a skillet! It is THE best way to get the perfect cook and sear on your burger!

Faster than takeout and way more cost-effective, our Smash Burger will satisfy your every craving. And our special secret not-so-secret sauce will have you coming back for seconds!

The not so secret Secret Sauce is smooth and creamy and FULL of flavour. Our Fried Shallot adds a savory depth, with none of the crunch of raw onion. The Mustard Flavour gives just the right amount of kick to make the sauce pop, and the Garlic Flavour adds all the aromatics without any texture or prep time.

This is one summer dish we know you’ll enjoy all season long!
