Chef-Crafted Smash Burgers

Dog Haus Created the Big Belly Burger with Chef Eric Greenspan

— August 8, 2024 — Lifestyle
Dog Haus may be best known for its hot dogs, but this summer it's sure to become a burger destination thanks to the debut of the new Big Belly Burger.

The Big Belly Burger is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based chef and TV personality Eric Greenspan. Big on flavor, the Big Belly Burger starts with two smashed beef patties topped with melty New School American Cheese, and layered with sweet caramelized onions, zesty diced onion, crunchy dill pickle slices, and a creamy secret sauce. The whole thing is also served on a grilled Big Marty’s sesame seed potato roll. As Chef Greenspan said in a recent press release, "They may be called Dog Haus, but I love their burgers. So I immediately reached out to them when my New School American Cheese was ready to take the world by storm. We put our skill sets together and came up with the Big Belly Burger."

The Big Belly Burger will be available beginning Thursday, August 8th for a limited time.
