Burger Schmurger Introduces the Bourdain Burger as June’s Burger of the Month
Limited-time special inspired by Anthony Bourdain’s love of simple, unforgettable food is available throughout June
Burger Schmurger, the Dallas smashburger destination known for its cult-favorite smashburgers and iconic monthly specials, is serving up a tribute to one of the culinary world’s most influential personalities with the launch of The Bourdain Burger, available throughout June as the restaurant’s latest Burger of the Month.
Inspired by the late Anthony Bourdain’s appreciation for honest, ingredient-driven cooking, the Bourdain Burger celebrates the notion that some of the best meals are often the simplest. The limited-time special draws particular inspiration from Bourdain’s well-documented love of mortadella, pairing the Italian cold cut with Burger Schmurger’s signature smashed cheeseburger for a rich, indulgent combination that feels both nostalgic and timeless.
Priced at $12, The Bourdain Burger features a single smashed cheeseburger topped with mortadella, provolone cheese, American cheese, Dijon mustard, and mayo all on a Kaiser roll. The result is a burger that balances savory richness with sharp, tangy notes, creating a flavor profile that would feel right at home in both a neighborhood burger joint and a classic Italian deli.
The Bourdain Burger features:
– Single smashed cheeseburger
– Mortadella
– Provolone cheese
– American cheese
– Dijon mustard
– Mayo
– Kaiser roll
Since opening, Burger Schmurger has built a devoted following by focusing on the fundamentals: quality ingredients, perfectly executed smashburgers, and an unwavering commitment to its community. The concept has become one of Dallas’ most talked-about burger destinations, attracting guests from across North Texas for its intentionally simple menu and consistently excellent execution.
A key part of Burger Schmurger’s appeal is its rotating Burger of the Month program, which allows the team to experiment with new flavor combinations while giving regulars something new to look forward to each month. Past specials have featured everything from Tex-Mex-inspired creations to nostalgic comfort food influences, earning attention from local diners and burger enthusiasts alike.
With the Bourdain Burger, Burger Schmurger continues that tradition while paying homage to a culinary icon whose passion for authenticity, great ingredients, and memorable meals continues to inspire chefs and food lovers around the world.
The Bourdain Burger is available throughout June for $12 while supplies last.
