The Best Dishes Eater Dallas Ate in September 2023 | Eater Dallas

"At 1804 McMillan Ave., I found what might be the city's most lauded burger: the original — a double patty topped with cheese, pickles, and the restaurant's “burger sauce” — available Tuesday through Sunday in the evening. Smash burgers reach their peak here under chef Dave Culwell (who is also the owner and will probably tell you what's in the sauce if you ask nicely); the patty's crispy edges may be the best in all of Dallas, and the savory secret sauce, grilled onions, and molten cheese push the burger's flavor over the top. There are weekly specials that go far beyond the standard smash burger, but if you're here it's likely for that simple, perfectly executed burger, and Culwell's success — with a new location slated to open in Lake Highlands shortly — proves that keeping burgers simple pays off." - Courtney E.
