Pregnancy cravings are real—and if your puku’s been screaming “smash burger,” we’ve got good news.
At Fat Puku’s, we’ve got plenty of options that are safe, satisfying, and absolutely stacked with flavour.
Here’s everything you need to know about which burgers are good to go and how to order them if you’re expecting.
