Jake Hickton, one of the partners at Burger Monger, worked his way through the food industry at high-end restaurants when he was younger. He's helped cultivate an atmosphere that is informal and casual, which is juxtaposed by the meticulously crafted dishe. Burger Monger uses fresh, hormone-free beef and fresh, natural ingredients to ensure the highest quality dining experience. Their thick fries are hand-cut and cooked in natural beef tallow, which underscores their salty splendor.
The burgers are made from tender Akaushi beef, typically served in high-end steakhouses. Gluten-free diners can rejoice because Burger Monger makes gluten-free buns daily, along with their savory challah bread buns. Burger Monger will also begin wine program that features 20 bottles priced at $20 each. They'll also expand their craft beer offerings for the St. Pete community.

A true American classic also finds a home at Burger Monger, their natural Akauishi beef hot dogs pay homage to the iconic Chicago dog. Once open, Burger Monger will certainly elevate and enliven the lunch scene in St. Pete, and provide a solid alternative to downtown dining on the weekends. They'll be hosting a job fair from April 11-16. Applicant can apply in person at their 4th Street location from 10am-2pm, and 4-7pm.
