When owner, founder and operator of Original Slap Burger, Chad Barlow and his dog Hank arrived in New Orleans they weren’t sure what was next for them. They had just left Nashville and had planned on moving to Key West. But as is so often the case in the Crescent City, he stopped in town and couldn’t resist the pull of NOLA. In his quest to find how he was going to fit in, he fell into a familiar and comforting life. The Burger Life.

Since firing up the grill in 2022, Original Slap Burger has served billions* of burgers to hungry people in New Orleans. A favorite of locals and tourists alike, Original Slap Burger prides itself on doing burgers the right way.
