Leone Catalano, creator and owner of Leon’s Smash Burgers, has eaten his way across America since 2012, living there through 2022 and 2023 to master the art that defines the true burger.
From hidden diners to iconic chains, Leone soaked up the culture, flavours, and craft of the American smash.
Returning home to Melbourne, he turned that passion into Leon’s Smash Burgers — serving simple, classic, no-nonsense burgers that celebrate everything great about the U.S. scene.
After taking his pop-up across America, Leone now brings his authentic smash creations to Meatstock Gippsland 2026 — juicy, crispy-edged proof that burger dreams really can travel.
