Our Story

Built From a Food Truck.Perfected Over a Decade.

GOAT Burger started with one truck, one grill, and a refusal to cut corners. Since 2014, we've grown into a global name without changing what made us great: fresh-ground beef, live-fire grilling, and a recipe we'll never compromise on.

The People Behind It

Meet the Founders

Three obsessives who turned a single food stand into a global name — without ever touching the recipe.

Marcus Vale
01

Marcus Vale

Founder & Head Butcher

Marcus started GOAT Burger out of a converted food truck in 2014, obsessed with the idea that fast food could be made without compromise. Fifteen years in professional kitchens taught him that great beef deserves respect — and a live fire.

Elena Cross

Co-Founder & Culinary Director

A classically trained chef, Elena built the GOAT flavor system from the ground up — every sauce, glaze, and blend crafted in-house. She believes the smallest details separate a good burger from a legendary one.

Jordan Blake

Co-Founder & CEO

Jordan turned a single stand into a global brand without ever touching the recipe. His rule: never open a new city until the old one is perfect.

The Difference

Why GOAT

It is not marketing. It is how every single burger is made, every single day.

Live Fire Grilled

Every patty is grilled over an open flame for a char you cannot fake with a flat top.

Fresh, Never Frozen

We grind beef fresh in-house daily, sourced from grass-fed regional ranches.

Made To Order

Nothing sits under a heat lamp. Your burger is built the moment you order it.

Quality Ingredients

House-made sauces, fresh-baked buns, and produce delivered daily. Zero shortcuts.
