A Mezze with Attitude
At Suwanee Social, the Greek Smash Burger proves that the mezze section isn’t just about small bites - it’s where big flavor lives. Inspired by the rich, aromatic traditions of the Mediterranean and the comfort of a great burger, this dish bridges cultures with confidence.
Built on a base of soft mini naan, it layers tender kafta-marinated beef, fresh arugula, crisp cucumber, and sharp red onion. A generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce cools everything down, while sumac and extra virgin olive oil lift the flavors with bright, citrusy notes. It’s casual, but far from ordinary - a burger that trades the bun for something softer, fresher, and undeniably fun.
Where East Meets West
The Greek Smash Burger embodies Suwanee Social’s signature approach to food: taking familiar formats and infusing them with global character. The idea begins with the American classic - the smash burger - but reimagines it through the lens of Middle Eastern and Greek street fare. The kafta seasoning adds depth, with hints of garlic, cumin, and herbs that seep into every bite. Combined with the cooling tang of tzatziki and the chew of warm naan, it’s an unexpected pairing that just works.
Each component has a purpose. The cucumber and red onion bring crunch and freshness. The arugula adds a peppery bite. The naan keeps it handheld and social - a nod to the restaurant’s energy and its love for food meant to be shared.
A Mezze Moment
Placing the Greek Smash Burger in the mezze category is no accident. It invites diners to explore and share, to mix and match plates around the table. It’s the kind of dish that sparks curiosity: half familiar, half new, and completely satisfying. Pair it with a cold beer, a crisp white wine, or one of Suwanee Social’s Mediterranean-inspired cocktails - the kind that brings the flavors full circle.
This isn’t fast food. It’s fast culture - food that moves, connects, and celebrates. Every element, from the drizzle of olive oil to the faint tang of sumac, is designed to be both approachable and intriguing.
