๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”ฅ SMASH BASH 2: THE CHAMPS ARE HERE TO DEFEND THEIR TITLES. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ†

Weโ€™ve introduced some serious competition leading up to Smash Bash 2โ€ฆ

But this next team isnโ€™t walking into the battle empty-handed.

thanksfortheinvite.ca ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ”

And theyโ€™ve got TWO TITLES TO DEFEND.

But before the trophies, the competitions and the Sonoma County pop-ups, Justin and Paige started with one simple idea: Good food brings people together. โค๏ธ

And when they decided to make a burger of their own, they didnโ€™t just throw some beef on a flat top and call it a day. These two literally ROAD-TRIPPED ACROSS CALIFORNIA IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT BURGER. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”

For months, Justin and Paige ate their way through California, taking notes on what worked, what didnโ€™t and what made a burger truly memorable. All that delicious โ€œresearchโ€ eventually became the smashburger they serve today. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Since then, Thanks for the Invite has become a familiar sight at wineries, breweries and events throughout Sonoma County and theyโ€™ve proven they can throw down on a whole lot more than burgers.

๐Ÿ— They took home a fried chicken competition win, earning a โ€œBest Fried Chicken in Sonoma Countyโ€ nod from the Press Democrat. ๐Ÿ† More recently, they snagged the Peopleโ€™s Choice Award at Clash of Cuisines.

And then, of course, thereโ€™s a little competition called SMASH BASH. ๐Ÿ‘€ Last year, Justin and Paige walked inโ€ฆ and walked out with:

๐Ÿ† PEOPLEโ€™S CHOICE
๐Ÿ† BEST OVERALL BURGER

TWO CATEGORIES. TWO WINS.

So while everyone else is coming to Smash Bash hungry for a titleโ€ฆ Thanks for the Invite is coming to KEEP THEIRS. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The competition is bigger this year. The lineup is stacked. And there are five other vendors who would probably LOVE to knock the champs off their throne.

THE CHAMPS ARENโ€™T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ†

Next up in our Smash Bash 2 Competitor Spotlightโ€ฆ

Smash Nโ€™ Dash ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ”

And their story starts somewhere pretty damn special: Around Grandmaโ€™s kitchen table. โค๏ธ

A little over a year ago, during a time when jobs were changing and the future felt uncertain, the family behind Smash Nโ€™ Dash sat around that table and asked themselves a simple question: What could they do together that they truly loved? The answer was right in front of them.

They loved to cook.
They loved to create.
They loved being together.
And they REALLY loved burgers. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”ฅ

That conversation became Smash Nโ€™ Dash. But they didnโ€™t start with a huge launch, a massive following or some fancy operation.

They started by going door-to-door. They shared their burgers with neighbors, friends and members of their community, asking for honest feedback along the way. They listened, adjusted, experimented and kept getting better.

One burger at a time, they refined their recipes, perfected their flavors and built the menu theyโ€™re proud to serve today.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Signature sauces made completely from scratch
๐Ÿง… Their own house onion ring mix
๐ŸŒถ๏ธ A Mexican touch woven throughout their food
๐Ÿ” Big, bold flavors inspired by their roots

Every burger coming off their flat top is a reflection of their family, their creativity and their passion for making food people remember. Because the story behind Smash Nโ€™ Dash is about a whole lot more than burgers. Itโ€™s about family. Hard work. Taking a leap when life feels uncertain and turning it into something worth being proud of. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

From knocking on neighborsโ€™ doors with burgers in handโ€ฆ To competing for SMASH BASH BRAGGING RIGHTS. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ”

THATโ€™S ONE HELL OF A FIRST YEAR.

SMASH Nโ€™ DASH IS READY TO THROW DOWN.
