Smashburger, one of the fastest growing restaurant concepts in the US, will open its first restaurant in Scotland this October on Sauchiehall Street. They claim to stand out from the burger crowd through their cooking method. Beef is hand-formed into a meatball and then smashed onto a hot buttered grill, which apparently sears in all the juices and flavour. Sounds like fun.
Other tasty options will include chicken breast sandwiches and an avocado and garlic grilled Portobello cap muschroom vegetarian burger as well as sides like the garlic and rosemary Smash fries. We’re told craft beers and wines will be available along with shakes made with Häagen–Dazs ice cream. Plus they will have one of those fancy Coca Cola Freestyle drinks machines that allow you to choose over 100 different combinations.
The restaurant will be over two floors and will be open seven days a week. They told Glasgowist: “Smashburger promises to deliver on speed, taste and atmosphere in an every-occasion burger restaurant that Glasgow residents can call their own”.
