Chef Levy: Episode 2

 In episode 2 of Chef Levy, the group of chefs decided to prepare a “smash” burger. Chef Miller suggested the “smash” burger after his trip to Nashville, TN, where he was inspired by how delicious he found the burger.

The Chefs knew this dish was a step up from their last; however, they decided to take a chance.

“The only way to get better was to challenge ourselves and make the possibilities endless,¨ Chef Levy said.
