The Year of the Smash Burger | Eater
"As Sam Stone writes in Bon Appétit, smash burgers as a forward-thinking trend began in earnest in 2019 with chef Jae Lee’s New York Korean American pop-up that would morph into the restaurant. Photographs from that era were described as "positively gargantuan — such height!" and even prompted the question, "Is that something resembling a quarter-inch thickness per patty?" — an observation used to contrast those earlier, taller patties with the much thinner present-day smash burger." - Jaya Saxena
