That looks very good, I didn't see how much the balls weighed when he was  making them. It is extremely thin, I have never tried to get one that thin. The cooked and raw onion I would really like. Even the little mustard pentagram was a unique touch on the one burger.

I ground the ridges off my burger smasher, so I should have used wax paper.  The 1st one stuck real bad and was hard to save, 2nd one a little better.  To thin for me, but hot dang it was a good burger.  I screwed up cooking the onions, so they will we better tomorrow.  I will not mash as thin, and I wish I had SS top insted of teflon, but very pleased with outcome.  These patties beg for the large buns though, store in the morning!

There is just something about a smash burger being really moist without juices dripping all over you.

Burger from the Stone Pony in Clarksdale, MS.  Tasted like a big burger from Wendy's.

A fail.  1 was enough.  Overcooked, not enough fat in the mix to be cooked on a wood bbq, bacon to thick.  This was a burger that screamed out for The Works.  That is as close to a "Bad" Cheeseburger as I have ever had.

Never been to a Shake Shack (#1 on the list), but have had Five Guys (#2 on the list) burgers many times.
Good burgers and you can add from the list of toppings anything you want with no increase in price.
They don't have a freezer in the place, everything is fresh.
And if you order the fries, don't order the large, it will be enough for 5 or 6 people.
Small is good for 2 or 3 people.
Fries are very good too.

I've had burgerfi, five guys, and steak and shake from that list. I'm surprised culver's didn't make it if steak and shake did. Similar but culver's is a bit better to me. Burgerfi was really good but I only had it once.

Five guys is solid, but probably would not make a definitive list for me.

I don't trust a list that does not have In n Out on it!  I have only had 4 of the burgers on that list, but 2 of them were 30 years ago, so just like not having them.  I guarantee that an In n Out double is better than any of those 4!  5 Guys is close.

It seems that this list is for "Fast Casual" as opposed to fast food. Don't ask me what the difference is.  To me, it's the same food for more $$.  I see that In n Out made #2 on their fast food burger list. Oh and Culvers is on that list too:

In and Out is still my favorite around here. Every bit as good as 5 guys and Shake Shack, for a fraction of the price. The biggest difference is that you don't get many options for toppings, which is fine with me.

Thanks for the clarification!  Never had a Culvers, if it can beat In n Out, it is one fine burger.  Will have to do some research where they are located and see if we can work one in to the Free Mr Tony, jdmessner & Trooper trip!  You could not pay me to eat a Quarter Pounder!

I would take the Checkers Big Beauford, Jumbo Jack, Whopper & Dave's double over it any day!

I like Culver's too.  The butter burger.  I think it is a smashburger that is smashed on top of melted butter on the griddle.  They have a few different types of burgers based on the topping options.

I see there is one 2 miles from hotel in Jenison, yee haw!.  Will try and see if I can sneak a late night one in!

Edit:  A little off topic, but Kristin just said they have Fish n Chips, another thing I can't get in Mayberry.  Can anyone weigh in on them?

I think Culver’s butter burger is actually butter on the bun. I don’t eat the butter burgers because both of their patty melts are awesome! I love me a double Swiss melt.

I tried 5 Guys one time and was not at all impressed. I need to give it another shot again to make sure it wasn’t just a bad day. I thought SmashBurger was better.

I've had their fish a number of times. It's always been good. The beef pot roast is good to.
