The idea of creating a real, from JAV the "smash" (lit. smashed) hamburger, which is served in the south, was created by Jonis Petraičius Petrauskas more than a year ago. Developing the family business, the young man began to delve into the intricacies of making these burgers and, in order to learn as many secrets as possible, embarked on gastronomic tours of the United Kingdom and the United States. That's how the idea arose to combine the American traditions of hamburger making in one place with Lithuanian products grown on our farms and all hamburger accessories produced on site.
Homemade sauces, a bun made from potatoes and top-class meat grown on our country's farm - this is the business card of this place.
"Ponas Mėsainis" is located at the address: Šeimyniškių st. 21, in Vilnius.
