Burgers American Grill’s Nathan Havercroft likes warm meat and cold Hofbräu
“The fanciest it gets here might be aioli,” Nathan Havercroft says on a Thursday afternoon as he watches the lunch crowd at his new restaurant. “And we could call that garlic mayo, but the truth is, we just need to give people good food at a fair price.”
The food at Burgers American Grill (770 SW U.S. Highway 40, Blue Springs) isn’t fancy, but it’s also not the usual fast-casual. Havercroft, 31, is offering things like hand-shaken lemonades, milkshakes flavored with fresh fruit, and double-fried french fries.
The former Saddle & Sirloin Club executive chef got into the burger business in Blue Springs for a simple reason: “I’m hoping I can work hard now for me, so that I’ll have more time to spend with my family,” he says.
