116. From Pop Up to South Bay Smash Burger Sensation with Matt from Proudly Serving

LifeHacksLA - Hacking the Best of Los Angeles

116. In this episode we are talking to Matt the owner of Proudly Serving. They went from a humble pop up spot started on his driveway to a South Bay Smash Burger sensation serving up long lines of fans at their first physical location right on the Redondo Beach Pier. Matt started his business during Covid with no prior professional cooking experience and was able to build a following of passionate smash burger lovers in just over a year. They are so popular they've even been featured in local magazines and on the local news. We love talking to Los Angeles entrepreneurs who were able to build a brand out of nothing and make a bit of noise in this ultra competitive city. So in this episode we decide to do the interview live on location. I went down to Proudly Serving and sat down with Matt right at the Redondo Pier so he could share his whole story with us. We learn about his crazy journey from the driveway to the Pier, the challenges of being an entrepreneur during a pandemic, why he loves the South Bay and some of his favorite Los Angeles hacks.
