I mentioned last week that I have often meant to document smashburgers here on Uncorrected. I tried again tonight and was reminded why, despite my intentions, they don’t lend themselves to a photo procedural: things get fast near the end.

I did get some staged shots tho:

Weigh ‘Em Out

I make 2 oz patties, and each burger sammich gets two patties.

Prep the Garnish

I chop lettuce and make a copy of In and Out Burger’s Animal Sauce. I also slice up some onion and throw them on the grill while the burgers sear. Each sandwich gets a slice of Cooper Sharp.

I chopped some peppers-jalapeno, long hot, and cherry-up and let them sit in a pinch of salt and acv.

Bacon and Buns

I crisped up some bacon from the butcher and toasted the buns.

Hulk Smash!

I use a cast iron press and a piece of parchment paper to smash the burgers on the hot griddle.

Pre-assembly

Here are the two extras, unadorned, which ended up in the fridge. The pace kept from taking a pic of the finished product. Here’s one from March though.
