Smash Burgers: A Controversial Culinary Trend

Smash burgers have become a popular trend, favored for their simplicity and flavor. Unlike thick burgers, smash burgers offer crispy, lacy edges and a juicy, greasy interior due to the use of a 70-30 beef blend. The technique involves smashing the patty into the griddle, creating a unique texture that some find irresistible. While some argue that thick burgers offer a different experience, others appreciate the crunchy and juicy elements of a well-made smash burger.
