Nationwide – Smashburger

Rolled into Smashburger, my first visit.   The Smash started in 2007 in Denver, by fast food vet  Tom Ryan, who did stints at Pizza Hut, Quiznos, and McDonalds.   His wiki bio gives him credit for introducing the thin crust pizza at the ‘Hut, and for McGriddles and McFlurry at the golden arches. Named for the… Continue reading Nationwide – Smashburger

I first spotted the… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill
