Big burger news on this blisteringly hot summer morning: Smashburger, a Colorado-based restaurant chain that cooks fresh meat in butter to produce some super-delish burgers, is opening its first Tucson location.
The restaurant is going in at 4821 E. Grant Road. A company spokeswoman tells us the tentative opening date is mid-December.
We know that’s a long time to wait, but for the time being you can feast your eyes on this.

11 dollars plus tax for a meal. And that is with no extras. Ouch.
The most expensive burger is $6.99, about the same price as McDonalds Angus burger or Carls Jr’s 6 dollar burger. You can make this price happen at any fast food restaurant.
But I would rather pay $11 for a burger that’s made with the top of the line ingredients. I enjoy a whopper like everyone else but it cannot compare to a Smashburger……ever.
