The Evolution of Burgers
The history of hamburgers dates back to 1895 when the first burger was served in New Haven, Connecticut. Initially, burger culture emphasized bigger portions with towering patties and extensive toppings. However, a recent trend has emerged that favors thinner, crispier smash burgers, which have gained popularity in high-end restaurants. These smash burgers are lauded for their ability to maintain a juicy interior while offering a delightfully crispy exterior that comes from the cooking technique.
