The latest craze in fast food is the gourmet burger joint. Well maybe not the latest craze, but judging from the rapid expansion of high-buck ($6.00 plus) freshly made hamburger joyntes’ around the country there is something going on. That includes ripping you off.
Last night we endured Smashburger. Why their trendy organization has decided to double down with a special burger that piles fake brick cheese on top of kerosene-oil based American cheese to hide a thin reed of real beef somewhere in a charred bun and charge a dollar more than their regular burgers is perplexing. Fail.
Try Five Guys instead. Think savory White Castles without the shots.
