Smash burgers are built around thin, aggressively seared patties cooked on a hot griddle for maximum crust development and speed. The process relies on 80/20 ground beef formed into uniform portions, shaped into loose balls for consistent smashing. Cooking takes place on a 425 degrees Fahrenheit surface where the patties are pressed down to create a rapid sear that enhances caramelization and flavor.

The cooking method follows a simple sequence of smash, season, flip, and cheese, with timing playing a critical role in achieving the right texture. Seasoning is applied during cooking rather than before to prevent steaming and preserve a crisp exterior. Once the patties naturally release from the griddle and are flipped, they are finished with melted cheese, toasted buns, and a straightforward assembly of burger sauce, tomatoes, and pickles.
