Smashburger To Open Its Third Tucson Location

Feb 6, 20141 min read

It’s no surprise that Smashburger, known as the nation’s “better burger” restaurant, is opening a third location in Southern Arizona. On Wednesday, March 5, 2014, the newest location will open at 6970 E. 22nd St., Tucson, AZ 85710 (Eastpoint Shopping Center/SWC 22nd & Kolb).

Currently, the two stores that are open have experienced great success with their freshly prepared smashed burgers and exceptional service. (Located at Alvernon & Broadway; Grant & Swan.)

Serving a traditional menu made up of SmashburgersGrilled Chicken SandwichesSaladsHot Dogs, and Hand-Spun Haagen-Dazs Shakes, this up-and-coming restaurant is nothing short of delicious. Arizona offers its locally inspired recipe, the Arizona Burger, including habanero cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, chipotle mayo and fresh jalapenos on a spicy chipotle bun. Talk about mouth-watering, especially when paired with their tasty Sweet Potato Fries! Hungry customers can also choose from a variety of other delicious creations, such as the Arizona Cobb Salad, topped with apple wood-smoked bacon, sliced jalapenos, guacamole, cheddar, tomatoes, and onions tossed in a spicy chipotle dressing.

“I am honored to contribute to the local Tucson economy, while offering Tucson residents the burgers and food that they crave,” said Eric Wolf, the owner of all three Tucson Smashburger locations. Not only is this new opening an excitement to local “smash” fans, it’s a positive impact on the Tucson economy by creating more than 70 jobs in the market. Talk about a win-win!

Three-peat!🏆🏆🏆

@Chef_antbanks of @obonsushi defended his Iron Chef Tucson title against AJ Mortazavi of The Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery, with tomatoes from Wholesum Family Farms revealed as this year’s secret ingredient.

Dromgoole’s winning menu included pork with minced olives over a diced tomato salad, a tomato-forward ratatouille with mozzarella, charred corn and whipped ricotta served with tableside tomato soup, and a standout dessert of fried tomato topped with goat cheese ice cream and balsamic glaze.

With the victory, Dromgoole joins Ryan Clark as the only chefs to win @theironcheftucson three years in a row. Here’s hoping OBON brings these dishes back for a special dinner. 🍅
