If you love burgers, especially smash burgers, you won’t want to miss one of the best in the city, Burger Schmurger, a pop up that quickly gained local recognition after coming on to the scene several years ago! (It was even voted the Best Bite at Chefs For Farmers two years ago.) We have all the deets on the mouth-watering menu and weekly location!

BURGER SCHMURGER
A cookout turned career, Dave Culwell was really good at cooking burgers, so much so that his friends would always request them when they came over, even as Dave wanted to cook other things too. His daughter is the one who really convinced him to take his expertise beyond the backyard, so he began to pop up around town, and the rest is history!
THE BURGER
A true smash burger, an 80/20 beef mix is smashed in the griddle, seasoned and topped with cheese, house-brined pickles and onions and a secret sauce. The buttered bun toasts to the side before it all comes together in one double-patty juicy burger!
THE MAVERICK & SUNDAY CHICKEN
Beyond the signature smash, he serves a sandwich called the Maverick with two smashed beef patties, American cheese, pork belly jam, provolone and a flat-top bun. On Sundays, you can try his fried chicken burger, and be sure to look out for special creations that Dave will announce on their Instagram, @burger_schmurger!
TRAVELING IN FROM ALL OVER
While waiting for our burger, Dave was sharing stories about how people come in from all over not just DFW, but Texas and also, the entire country, to try his burgers! A pretty impressive feat and a testament to just how good they are!
WHERE TO FIND
Still a pop-up, Burger Schmurger’s permanent residence is at High Fives, Wednesday through Sunday from 11am to 10pm.
