The Hot Ticket: two smashed patties with crispy edges, melted American cheese, griddled onions, pickles and sauce on a glossy potato bun

Fresh chuck pressed thin on a screaming-hot flat top, melted American, pickles and ticket sauce on a soft potato bun. Order ahead and it's on the pickup shelf in about eight minutes.

Pick a burger

Two minutes on the flat top

No heat lamps and no holding trays. This is what happens after you place your order.

  1. A cook pressing balls of beef flat on a griddle with a steel smasher

    Smash

    A ball of fresh 80/20 chuck hits a 450° flat top and gets pressed thin with a steel smasher.

  2. Patties searing on a flat top with flames rising behind them

    Crust

    The edges go lacy and dark brown. That crust is where all the flavor lives.

  3. American cheese melting over smashed patties on the griddle

    Flip and melt

    One flip, a slice of American and a splash of water under a dome. The cheese goes molten in seconds.

  4. A finished burger held in two hands, ready to eat

    Order up

    Toasted potato bun, ticket sauce, pickles and onions. Wrapped, bagged and on the pickup shelf.

Order like a regular
