| - What a week! 2 truly awesome speciality hamburger places have opened, Clive on 17th Ave SW and Smashburger on 32 Ave NE!
Smashburger is part of a popular US chain from Denver, a lot like Five Guys Burger and Fries and Fatburger, but with a bit of a difference. Smash is dedicated to be the best local burger joint in each city it's in. As such, they added some nice touches to a Canadian Burger that reeks of Alberta, and ESPECIALLY the wicked ice cream shake using the ever rocking McKay's ice cream.
As for the name... well, get a baseball-size ball of fresh meat, and then smash the sucker onto a reeeeeaaally hot grill to sear it quickly and seal in those yummy moo juices. Once done, add some nifty sauces, toppings (love the fried onions) and put it on a great fresh bun, and you have the Smashburger burger.
When I went, the line up went right out the door, and I have no doubt it'll be that way right through lunch for years.
Oh, and a especial nod to a certain fellow vegan Yelper Sarah Louise F., they have a BLACK BEAN based VEGETARIAN burger. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm curious to see what'll be your take on it!
