SMASH LAB
Firing up the plancha
Open now — smashing till late

SMASHED.
SEARED.
SERVED.

100% aged chuck, hand-smashed on a 550°F plancha until the edges go crispy-brown. Molten American, tangy sauce, buttered brioche. That's it.

Who we are

Two cooks.
One plancha.
No shortcuts.

01
Beef

Whole chuck ground in-house every morning. Nothing frozen, nothing pre-shaped.

02
Heat

A ripping-hot flat top. Patty goes down, spatula comes down, edges lace up in 40 seconds.

03
Cheese

American. Two slices. Non-negotiable. If you know, you know.

04
Bun

Soft brioche, buttered and toasted till golden. It has to hold the drip.
