New Restaurant
Concept Offers A Unique Twist on
Fast Casual
Dining
Twist and Smash’d, a
new fast casual restaurant, officially opened its doors at 72-06 Austin Street,
Forest Hills on Black Friday (November 29th, 2013). Twist and Smash’d
was formed by a father and daughter(s) team after a family vacation in Ecuador.
Enchanted by a local restaurant that served twisted potatoes on a stick, the
idea of Twist and Smash’d was born.
Twist
and Smash’d offers a variety of ‘smash’d specialities’ including the Chicken and
Waffles and the Italian burger. Each burger is prepared with 100% Premium
Natural Black Angus Beef. Short rib, chicken and veggie options are also
available. Early morning breakfast options are also available in addition to
the lunch, dinner and late night menu.
The
twisted potato is a unique spin on traditional French Fries. Twist and Smash’d
uses state of the art equipment that turns any size potato into a twisted potato
on a stick. After a quick dip in the fryer, the twisted potatoes can be topped
with any choice of seasoning—salt, cheddar, chipotle, lemon pepper and more.
Specialty drinks are also available to accompany any meal including strawberry
lemonade and mango iced tea.
The fun
and inviting atmosphere makes Twist and Smash’d a great new hotspot in Forest
Hills, an area full of fantastic restaurants, some named the best in Queens.
Like the food, the environment is unique. The inside is decorated with lots of
orange and a wall with five boards that stretch along side the interior
featuring the menu and a life size picture of the restaurant’s specialty, the
twisted potato. Consumers have the option to grab and go, dine inside or eat
outside on the outdoor patio.
Twist
and Smash’d is committed to green practices. The kitchen was built with energy
star products, plus composting is part of the daily routine and eco friendly
packaging is used.
"We are
ecstatic to bring Twist and Smash’d to Forest Hills," said Brianna Cano and
Robert Cano, owners of Twist and Smash’d. “This area is the perfect backdrop
for our first location and we think this neighborhood and those visiting will
enjoy this new restaurant.”
Twist and Smash’d will be open:
Monday - Thursday 8 am - 9 pm
Friday - Saturday 8 am -12 am
Sunday 9 am - 8 pm
