Get Smashed
07/09/2026
We’re working on doing some outdoor pop-up events, and we’d like YOUR INPUT!!!
What days and times are better for y’all? Saturdays? Sundays? Both days? Lunch? Dinner? YOU TELL US 😅
Since we will be doing these events outdoors, this will very much be weather dependent. So don’t curse us out if Mother Nature isn’t being cooperative.
But we want to continue to give you guys what you want before the doors open on James Street, and this is the best way possible for us to make that happen! Let us know in the comments 💜
The finish line is in sight - but we need a little extra help from you guys to get there!
Starting Tuesday, August 4th, you’ll have your chance to help shape the future of Get Smashed, the Eastwood community, and the food scene in Syracuse by contributing to our crowdfunding campaign. We’ll be posting more details over the next month, including: how you can contribute, what we’re planning to do with your contributions, and the cool things you can expect in return for your kindness & generosity.
We’ve got some really exciting things planned for the menu and the neighborhood, but we just need to get these doors open! We know so many of you are just as excited about this as we are - so here’s your chance to help bring something exciting to James Street!
Please share this post so we can spread the word and finally turn on these grills 💜

It’s been a minute since I gave y’all an update on the space!
Things are really moving along - even if it does feel like a convection oven outside 😅
I want to send a huge THANK YOU to my dudes Augustine Leavitt, Xavier Leavitt, Matt Klish, Anthony Klish, and Josh Melick for helping me get this equipment moved in. And a big THANK YOU to Fezzie for being my co-pilot to grab some more equipment over the weekend.
Still a pile more work to do - but inspections and permits are right around the corner!
Thank you for your patience while we bring this space together! I promise it’s all going to be worth it once those doors are open 💜

If you’re not familiar, shoestring fries are similar to what you get at McDonald’s - somewhere around a 1/4” cut. Whereas thick cut fries are what most sit-down restaurants serve - somewhere around a 3/8” cut.
We’re curious to know what team you are on! Let us know in the comments 🤓
Was someone asking about progress at the restaurant? Rob Miccoli and I spent the better part of Saturday prepping and getting the counter tops poured in the new space - and they look outstanding!
Can’t wait to show y’all!

Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there - but I am going to take a minute to shout out this man.
Dad. Gordy. Gordito.
You have somehow managed to perfect the art of being a giant pain in the ass but always showing up for us when we need you. You’ve worked so damn hard your entire life, and I swear, some days your stubbornness is the only thing that keeps you going. But I’m so proud of you. I’m proud of you for always being there. For showing me how to be a man of my word. For showing me what determination looks like. For motivating me to keep pushing when times get tough. And for always being the first one there to help - even if it still scares me to ask for it.
You’ve been through it all with us - through thick and thin. I honestly don’t know what I’ll do when you’re not around anymore, because you’re one of the main reasons why I am where I am today.
And I cannot ever begin to repay you or thank you properly for loving and taking care of Yuri the way you do. You and Mom have been so selfless for the last 7 months, and I know it hasn’t been easy.
But this much I can do. Thank you. And I love you.

I want to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to my Mom, my friend Mildadrea Starr, her two cool ass kids, Rob Miccoli, Micah Henderson, and everyone else that has either helped out at the restaurant in the last few weeks - or just poked their heads in to say hello!
Momentum is building, things are getting tightened up, and we’re ready to start bringing in equipment!
It’s hard to believe that we just blew right past the 2 year anniversary of Get Smashed. But here we are - ready for whatever comes next.
Stay tuned guys! More updates to come 🤓

We’re still a long ways away from opening - but every little thing checked off the list is a milestone in my book.
Finally got both of the custom neon OPEN signs hung and fired up - and they look great! Cannot say enough good things about Camille and the work he does at The Neon Shop in Lyncourt. He’s got one more project he’s working on for us that’s really going to bring the dining room to the next level.
Cannot wait to share this space with y’all!
If you want to make a great meal, whatever it is, you’ve got to have a great foundation. That’s pretty obvious to me. And I’m all for letting people have fun with the food they’re creating - just don’t come at me with onion rings and bbq sauce on your burger without expecting some level of judgement 💁🏻♂️
With that being said - if your favorite burger spot can’t execute simple on a high level (meat, cheese, seasoning, and bun), is what you’re eating really about the burger? Or is it about the condiments and they’re treating the beef like an afterthought?
I’m not trying to shame anyone for liking what they like - unless it’s onion rings and bbq sauce on their burger 😆 I just feel like there isn’t an abundance of restaurants in the Syracuse area that are interested in elevating their craft, or even taking the time to perfect the simple things. And I want our local restaurant community to do better - for all of our guests! Because I do whole heartedly believe that you guys deserve better from our community, and that’s why we’re here making the push!
We love you guys!
