In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman lands in Belgravia, Lansdowne, on the fringe of the Cape Flats to explore Mr. Smalls, a lockdown hustle that grew into a legendary Cape Town food haven! 🇿🇦✨
If you think great food brands require a massive corporate budget to launch, think again. Mr Smalls started in 2020 during the peak of the Covid pandemic, shifting from clothing imports to a humble container coffee shop selling candy and bubble waffles. Today, it has evolved into a full-scale culinary phenomenon, drawing foodies from Johannesburg, Durban, and beyond!
The secret? Complete recipe perfectionism. Nick sits down with the owners to discuss how they tasted their signature menu items thousands of times before serving them, including an incredible eight-month process just to perfect their iconic burger sauce. Combined with a relentless focus on world-class customer service and community growth, this local gem is a masterclass in pure South African hustle.
🍔 Nick gets stuck into:
🥩 The Iconic "Phat Buns" Burger – A multi-patty, ultra-saucy, messy indulgence with a serious kick
🍖 Smoky BBQ Ribs – Perfectly basted, flame-grilled ribs packed with deep, tender wood-smoke flavor
🔥 Fiery Drenched Chicken Wings – Finger-licking wings with a warming heat that makes you break a sweat
🍰 The Famous Homemade Cheesecake – A rich, velvety-smooth masterpiece that redefines decadent desserts
Beyond the massive feast, this episode celebrates the spirit of the Cape Town hustle. From selling out of a garage to creating a household name, it’s about family, dedication, and proving why you should never be shy to build your dreams from the ground up.
🔥 Is this the most indulgent cheat meal spot on the Cape Flats?
🍰 Does Mr. Smalls make the absolute best homemade cheesecake in Cape Town?
🌶️ Can you handle the heat on their legendary drenched chicken wings?
👉 Watch now to see how a small lockdown side-hustle became a major food destination!
👍 Like if you respect the power of a real South African street hustle!
💬 Comment below if you're diving into the burgers or the cheesecake first!
🔁 Share this with your favorite foodie crew for your next weekend cheat meal!
