From friends & family smashes to sold-out pop-ups.

Maz's Burgers started as a passion project — smashing patties for friends and family until the word got out. Now Chef Mazin Kanuga brings the pop-up to markets and community events around the city.

Every burger is made fresh on cast iron and seasoned with our signature blend. No frills, no fusion — just the classics, done right, the way he'd serve them at home.

The same blend we season every patty with at the pop-up. It builds that perfect crust on cast iron or grill. Nothing weird, no fillers — just what works.

01

Heat the iron

Get your cast iron screaming hot. That's the whole trick — you want the patty to sear on contact, not steam.

~ 4 min
02

Smash 'em flat

Lay a ball on the pan, cover with parchment, and press hard with the burger press. Flat and thin = crispy edges. Don't be shy.

~ 10 sec
03

Season light

Give it a light dusting of Maz Burger Seasoning. Don't overdo it — the blend is doing work you can't see.

instant
04

Flip, cheese, melt

At 90 seconds, flip. Season the other side light. Lay cheese on one patty, stack the second patty on top so everything melts together.

~ 90 sec
05

Toast, sauce, stack

Toast your brioche on the cast iron. Sauce both sides. Stack: bottom bun, patties, done. Eat immediately.

~ 60 sec
Enjoy. — Chef Maz
