Junk, the Smash Purist
At junk, there’s no salad to ease your conscience. Just one burger, with one mission: perfection. Majed and Wissem, the founders, have brought the concept of the real French smash burger to life: cold meat pressed on a sizzling hot grill, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The result? An addictive caramelized flavor, a secret homemade sauce, and sizes ranging from S to XXL for the hungriest of appetites.
Bonus: the triple-cooked fries and the half-baked cookie that deserve their own fan club.
