a note from the founder
Marisol opened Munch in April 2002 with fourteen seats and a walk-in that did not work. She still grinds the beef at four and cooks the late shift.

ground this morning
Chuck and brisket go through the grinder at six. What isn't used by close doesn't see tomorrow. Here's what happens in between.
01 grind
Chuck for flavor, brisket for fat. Nothing else goes in.
02 ball
Loose. Packed meat steams instead of searing, and you can taste which one you got.
03 smash
One press, held dead flat until the edges run out thin enough to go lacy.
04 crust
The browned side is the product. Everything stacked above it is delivery.
05 bun
Face down on the same top, in the butter and fat the patty left behind.
worth the wait
Ninety seconds of work, and then it's yours. Get a shake with it — spun to order, and the best thing we make that isn't a burger.

what do people say about us?
the munch gazette
why a shake takes four minutes
There is no soft-serve machine in this building. Frozen custard, a steel cup, a spindle, and ninety seconds per shake. Three at a time, and that is the whole ceiling.
the patio out back is open again
We spent six weeks rebuilding the deck, adding shade, and doubling the seats. It reopens Friday with the full menu and the same late hours.
