For our monthly mentor lunch, Marcus and I checked out SmashBurger in Blue Ash. I'd heard about the chain from my mom and her co-workers whose office is across the street. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside and caught up and stuffed ourselves - the Baja burger with pepper jack cheese, fresh guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, zesty chipotle mayo and fresh jalapenos (nice thick slices) on a spicy chipotle bun, was fantastic! Loved the sweet potato fries, too. And any place with Cherry Coke on fountain wins my vote (don't tell MR.) It was so damn good I decided to go back the next night for dinner and had the BBQ, bacon and cheddar burger with crispy haystack onions - I think I liked it even better! I wasn't a big fan of the veggie frites - I was excited to try them but they weren't crispy - sort of limp. I'm sure I'll go back to try the Buckeye and the mushroom and swiss burgers - and again for one with fried egg on top. Hellllo fat kid! Ohh and the Haagen Daaz milkshakes - $4 but with flavors like NutterButter it's a must.
The burger was juicy and cooked well through and does look like the eat was smashed - not formed into a frozen patty. Although $11 is steep for a burger joint, it's worth a try - their toppings are what will bring me back. It's a national chain but each state has a special burger.
