The Crush Bibimbap Smash Burger

(Press Release) BOCA RATON/DELRAY BEACH/CORAL SPRINGS, FL — For Demetrio Zavala, food holidays serve as a welcome reminder to think outside the box or, on National Cheeseburger Day, the bun. On September 18, Zavala, Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Director of Culinary and repeat Food Network champion, is putting his own spin on the classic American sandy, marrying it with the bold, exotic flavors of bibimbap, a century-old Korean rice dish traditionally layered with vegetables, meat, egg, and savory seasonings.
 
The result is The Crush Bibimbap Smash Burger ($14), two four-ounce pressed patties made from brisket, short rib, and chuck blended with a custom mix of spices, crowned with smoked cheddar, house kimchi mayo, caramelized scallions, and a sunny-side-up egg on a seeded challah bun, accompanied by hand-cut fries cooked in beef tallow.
 
The Crush Bibimbap Smash Burger will be available exclusively on National Cheeseburger Day at all three Gary Rack’s Farmhouse locations in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Coral Springs.
 
Gary Rack’s Farmhouse is located at 399 SE Mizner Blvd. in Boca Raton, 561-826-2625; 204 E. Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach, 561-266-3642; and 3314 N. University Dr. in Coral Springs, 561-816-2090.

(Press Release) JUPITER/ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL — Is it a cheeseburger? Is it a taco? At Papichulo Tacos, there’s no need to choose. On National Cheeseburger Day, the South Florida taco-and-tequila concept is celebrating one of America’s most iconic handhelds with its Smash Burger Taco, a taste-bud-tantalizing mashup channeling the familiar flavors of a fully loaded cheeseburger into taco form.

Normally $6, the Smash Burger Taco will be offered for $5 for one day only. A 75/25 ground chuck patty is smashed on a flat-top griddle then layered with American cheese, B&B pickles, fresh-made-daily pico de gallo, pickled red onion, lettuce, and 1000 Island dressing.

The taco is a fitting tribute to the culinary creativity of Chef Tim Nickey, partner of Papichulo Tacos and Blackbird Modern Asian, whose career has been shaped by an ability to riff on familiar dishes and ingredients while drawing from American, Mexican, and Asian cuisines. His résumé spans celebrated restaurants including Abe & Louie’s, China Grill, Komodo Miami, Kapow Noodle Bar, and Lucky Shuck. Nickey also became the youngest executive chef in the history of Morton’s The Steakhouse, experience that helped sharpen his command of beef long before the Smash Burger Taco hit the griddle.

The $5 Smash Burger Taco will be available exclusively on National Cheeseburger Day at both Papichulo Tacos locations in Jupiter and Royal Palm Beach.
