What is a Smash Burger?
Whats the difference?
Smash Burgers are a relatively new form of burger. Think of it like pizza, there are many different styles of pizza - NY style, Chicago Deep Dish, artisan, wood fired, Detroit style, square beach pizza, etc. For burgers we have fast food burgers, flame broiled, thick patty, and finally - SMASH BURGERS!
Smash burgers are distinct in the fact that they are thinner, have been seared and have a crispy crust. They are cooked all the way through but, they remain juicy as they are cooked on a high temp, flat top griddle which helps lock in the moisture you would normally lose in a fully cooked burger patty.
For all these reasons, like the name implies, they are SMASHINGLY DELICIOUS!
