Smash burger restaurant opens in Thurston Co. New apartments planned in Tumwater

PNW Smash Burger , the father and son dream of Alexander and Xander Mararac, is now reality as the grand opening of the business is set for Saturday, Nov. 14. “After a long wait, we are officially opening our doors!” they said in an email. Both have food experience. Alex grew up working in his parents’ Filipino restaurant in South Tacoma, he said, and Xander, his son, studied culinary arts at the New Market Skills Center in Tumwater and was set to do the same at South Puget Sound Community College until the program closed, The Olympian previously reported. Let’s get to the important stuff: What’s a smash burger? It’s a balled up beef patty that is then flattened on a hot surface, stainless steel or cast iron, giving the burger a seared and crispy edge while maintaining its juiciness, the Mararacs told The Olympian. What’s on the menu? For one, the Alpine smash burger: Using 100% ground chuck, they then add grilled onions, melted Swiss cheese and top it with truffle garlic aioli sauce and serve it on a buttered toasted potato bun. Where can you get one? 730 Sleater Kinney Road SE, Suite D. They intend to operate
