The fast-casual restaurant chain Smashburger has added gluten-free burgers (and buns) to its
menu, thanks to a partnership with Udi’s Gluten Free and a reformulation of its
meat seasonings.
In a formal announcement made last month, Smashburger
spokesmen said Udi’s gluten-free buns will be available at all U.S. locations, which includes 20 in New Jersey.
Smashburger’s founder and chief concept officer Tom
Ryan cited the gluten-free lifestyle as an “emerging consumer trend” in
the food
service industry, and a desire to meet the demands of those potential
customers. According to the company, the gluten-free market has grown
more than 200 percent since 2010.
