Meet Chef Joe
Who’s Chef Joe?
Joseph Sutliff: owner and chef of Chef Joe at Roadhouse, co-owner of Mimi’s Sweet Treats, and owner of Vivere Colorado. Smash burgers and triple-cook tallow fries, cooked to order Sunday to Wednesday at his food trailer in the Delta Roadhouse courtyard, 215 Ute Street, Delta. Fifteen seconds from the courtyard: tap play for sound.

How Joe cooks
The smash
American Wagyu, smashed
3.5 oz of American Wagyu smashed on the flat-top with Joe’s own rub and sweet onions. The onions go on before the smash, so they cook into the crust.
The sauce
Bang bang sauce
Sriracha, Kewpie mayo and Mae Ploy sweet chili, very mild, standard on every smash burger, on a sourdough potato brioche bun. Lettuce and tomato on request, no charge.
The fries
Three cooks, one chip
Simmered, chilled, fried low, chilled again, then fried hot in tallow the moment you order — the method Heston Blumenthal worked out for The Fat Duck.
The onions go on before the smash, so they cook into the crust rather than sit on top of it.
