Seven Better Burger Restaurants to Open in San Diego

SAN DIEGO --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Smashburger, a fast-casual "better burger" restaurant and Elkins Whisenhunt, Inc., will open seven restaurants in the San Diego metro area over the next two years. San Diego residents will enjoy Smashburger's convenience and fresh made-to-order quality.

Known for the cooking method used to create the perfect burger, Smashburgers start with a one-third or half-pound ball of 100-percent Certified Angus beef—fresh, not frozen—smashed, seared and seasoned on a flat grill. Served on butter-toasted artisan buns and topped with a selection of real cheeses, Smashburgers feature the freshest produce and top-quality condiments.

Smashburger provides something for everyone. Along with its mouthwatering burgers, the restaurant serves delicious Smashchicken sandwiches, Smashdogs, and Smashsalads, with sides like veggie frites and rosemary and garlic-seasoned Smashfries. Diners can also enjoy Häagen-Dazs shakes, root beer floats, beer and wine with their meal.

"We are excited to enter the San Diego market and anxious to bring the city our 'better burgers'," says Smashburger Founder Tom Ryan. "Once San Diegans get a taste of our delicious menu, they are sure to make Smashburger their favorite place for burgers."

"We can't wait to introduce San Diego to Smashburger's 'better burger'," says David Whisenhunt, partner of Elkins Whisenhunt, Inc. "San Diego is a burger-loving city that we know will embrace Smashburger's commitment to quality, convenience and top-quality service."
