Elevation Burger, Latham

After failing to find a fast-casual nutritious burger that he would feel comfortable feeding his children, Hans Hess founded Elevation Burger in 2005. It's here that he and his team began crafting delicious burgers and sandwiches with wholesome, fresh ingredients, all while considering the environmental impact of each product.

This emphasis on sustainability and health has clearly paid off. Today, with over 50 locations world-wide, Elevation Burger continues to dish up juicy burgers crafted from organic, sustainable ingredients like organic grass-fed, free-range beef; unprocessed, aged cheddar; and zesty hot pepper relish. What's more, the Elevation team further promotes healthy lifestyles by listing nutritional information for each sandwich and topping on the menu.
