And since you have to use a flat top griddle, the juices stay in the meat instead of running into the grill. But the goal is to make them thin, with slightly charred edges. Then you put two patties on the burger with American cheese on each. Also a must: toasted buns. From there it's up to you what you put on it, but I love 'em with mayo, mustard, pickles and this is important: fresh, crispy, finely diced onions. Hate the stringy, slimy onions you get at Five Guys. But that's just me.
Actually Jack in the Box makes a pretty good smash burger now. As does Sonic. They're all doing it now. Shake Shack is the best IMO.
When we go to Hilton Head there’s a SmashBurger restaurant at Exit 102a that has become a must stop destination.
