I was hyped for Jay Rok when he told me he was opening a burger joint. This was back at the inaugural 954 Burger Month<\/a><\/strong> event in 2024, and we flash forward to November 2024, when BMC Smash Burgers<\/strong> is now open in Oakland Park, Florida. Of course, I was fashionably late and didn\u2019t make my first visit until March 2025.<\/p>\n

First impressions? I loved the exterior\u2014very industrial, just like a smash burger spot should be\u2014the bold BMC logo in the middle seals the deal. There\u2019s a side door entrance, which is where we walked in.<\/p>\n

Inside, you\u2019ve got an arcade machine, a couple of tables, counter seating where you can watch the action, and more counter seats along the wall. If you prefer the fresh air, there are a few tables outside.<\/p>\n

Parking? There are some spots behind the building, plus parallels across the street. I mention this because, at first glance, it looks like there\u2019s nowhere to park.<\/p>\n

Patty Melt<\/strong> Talk<\/h2>\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about the food. *Did I get the BMC Smash<\/em>? Nope. I ate a few at the 954 Burger Month<\/strong> event and already knew how great it was. <\/p>\n

Instead, I went straight for the Patty Melt<\/a><\/strong>: double smash patty, BMC saus, roasted garlic sauce, Swiss cheese, American cheese, and grilled onions on marbled rye. Is it a \u201cby-the-book\u201d patty melt? Not exactly. Is it perfect? Absolutely.<\/p>\n

The BMC Smash Burgers<\/strong> are beautiful\u2014perfect crust, melted and crispy grilled onions. And then it happened; I realized that hot dogs were on the menu, and my eyes lit up.<\/p>\n

See, I first met Jay Rok when he was doing hot dog pop-ups as Frankenfurters<\/strong>. Back then, I had some killer kimchi-loaded tots and a beer brat when he was set up at J. Wakefield<\/strong>. A year later, he added smash burgers to his repertoire, his true calling, and here we are today.<\/p>\n

Beautiful and Tasty Wagyu Chil Dog<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I saw the Wagyu dog on the menu, it was a done deal, and I had to try it. I had them throw some chili on it, a slice of cheese that is placed under the cylindrical meat\u2014which is how I do it at home. <\/p>\n

Nacho cheese has its time and place, but this wasn\u2019t it. This chili dog? It\u2019s one of, if not the best, hot dogs I\u2019ve eaten in the last year. Split and griddled, chili right down the middle, cheese on the bottom, all on a Martin\u2019s Potato long roll. Perfect execution.<\/p>\n

I also got a side of tots (with all five saus-es<\/em>) and washed everything down with an Abita Root Beer<\/a><\/strong>. I should\u2019ve ordered the fries (crinkle cut!<\/em>), but hey, next time.<\/p>\n

Oh, and let\u2019s talk about the saus\u2014Jay Rok has a handful of house-made ones: BMC, Spicy BMC, Roasted Garlic, Fry Sauce, and Curry Ketchup. Listen, listen, listen\u2026 that curry ketchup<\/em> is phenomenal. We told him he needed to bottle it and sell it. Marcela<\/strong> and I would be first in line.<\/p>\n

BMC Smash Burgers<\/strong> is officially open in Oakland Park, and I look forward to whatever Jay Rok does there. He\u2019s got a spicy smash with pepper jack cheese, pickled jalape\u00f1os, and the spicy BMC<\/strong> saus\u2014that\u2019s next on my hit list. And, of course, I\u2019m going double. Who\u2019s ordering singles unless it\u2019s by mistake?<\/p>\n
