Burtgers Food Truck serves up cheese-dipped smash burgers

ATLANTA - FOX 5’s Burgers with Buck took a unique turn this week as host Buck checked out a rising local food truck that pulled directly into the backyard of the FOX 5 studios. Created by Atlanta native Robert "Bert" and his team, Burtgers Food Truck is making waves across the metro area with its interactive "dip-and-crunch" smash burgers and beef-tallow-fried sides.

Robert grew up in the Norcross area and had no formal commercial kitchen background before starting his culinary journey. The concept began in 2021 as a simple idea written down on a notepad.

Unlike traditional burger spots that rely on a single house sauce, Burtgers offers five distinct house-made sauces, including the "OG Moose"—a recipe passed down from Robert's brother.

The food truck's headline offering is "The Big Black Box," which encourages diners to play with their food:

• The Smash Burger: Double smash patties prepared fresh on the flat top.  
• The Cheese Dip: Customers take the burger and submerge it into a cup of warm cheese.  
• The Crunchy Coating: The cheese-coated burger is dipped into a bed of crushed bacon bits, Hot Cheetos, or Dorito crumbs for a crunchy, savory bite.

To complement the burgers, every side dish on the truck is fried in beef tallow. Popular side options include garlic Parmesan fries and Wisconsin cheese curds tossed in a custom Buffalo lemon pepper seasoning.

Burtgers Food Truck regularly pops up at local breweries, festivals, and private catering events throughout Metro Atlanta. Fans can track weekly locations and pop-up schedules on Instagram at @burgers.food.truck.
