    Smash burgers fucking suck…

    The only thing wearing gloves does is keep your hands clean.

    Presentation rules all, but cheap does not equal bad or inferior.

      Smash burgers are burgers for people who don’t like burgers. They’re a vehicle for cheese and fancy mayo, and I don’t mind a smash burger. When someone tells me their favourite burger is a smash burger I assume they just don’t like beef that much.

        Pretty sure smash burgers exist to most quickly fry a patty. Take a measured meatball and put it between two hour chunks of metal. Don’t even need to flip it if you are doing it right

        Not the person you’re replying to, but for me, a burger that’s actually got depth to it and seared properly holds the flavor better than something that’s been crushed and nearly burned.

        Pretty much any method that doesn’t mash the juiciness out of the meat.

        Their nothing new. It used to just be a shitty way to make a hamburger and then it got trendy.
