Burger Schmurger started as a backyard pop-up. A year later, it’s one of the more legitimate smashburger destinations in East Dallas, and the crew at 718 N. Buckner is throwing a block party to mark the occasion.
The celebration is Thursday, April 30, starting at 3 p.m., with the main action running 5 to 8. Live music from Downtown Doug, a dunk tank with the founders in it, balloon artists, face painters, dirty sodas from Dilly Dally Soda Co., and a raffle with gift cards, merch, and a Blackstone flat top up for grabs.
The headline moment is a $10,000 cornhole toss at 6 p.m. Enter on-site, one entry per person, and three finalists get pulled at random for a single shot at the money. No practice throws, no second chances — just one bag, one hole, and a lot of people watching.
“This first year has been a whirlwind,” co-founder Phil Schanbaum said. “This event is really about bringing everyone back together and celebrating that.”
It’s free, no tickets needed. More at burgerschmurger.com and @burgerschmurger on Instagram.
