Straight from the United States, the smash burger trend has been taking over the streets, stalls, and restaurants of Paris for some time now. A little marvel of street food, the smash burger consists of a meat patty that is"smashed" (i.e.,crushed) on a hot griddle to make it thin and crispy—while retaining its juices, flavor, and tenderness. Watch out!
The original recipe is fairly simple, and this cheeky patty, delicately slipped into a light potato bun, is usually accompanied by a generous helping of melted, stringy cheddar cheese, pickles to add a little acidity to the whole thing, sometimes a leaf of lettuce, and that's it. After all, less is more, and that's the strength of thisburger.
