Two Maillards smash burgers with lacy, deep-browned edges

The Burger

Maillard /maɪˈjɑːr/ — named for the reaction. The browning.

Hard-smashed on a hot flat-top for deep browning and lacy edges. Beef, cheese, pickles, shallots, sauce, bun. That's the whole idea, done carefully.

What started as a Sunday pop-up at the farmers market is now a counter on Noriega — with the market still on the calendar every week.

The beef
100% grass-fed, grass-finished
The fries
Natural-cut, fried in beef tallow
The soft serve
Organic Straus dairy
The rest
Pickles & sauces made in-house
