Jack Nolen's opened in Soulard on December 11, 2019. Veterans Jim and Ryan Grindstaff, with their mother Patti, built the concept around a house 25% brisket, 25% short rib, 50% chuck blend smashed thin on a flat top.
The Firecracker layers pepper jack, spicy ranch, and house jalapeno relish on a Martin's potato roll. Editorial support from the Post-Dispatch STL100 and St. Louis Magazine plus strong platform ratings sustain its Certified Smash profile.
