"We know the smashed vs. un-smashed debate comes down to personal burger-eating preferences, but after having both options at Nowon in the East Village, here’s where we stand: You’ll taste every ingredient more prominently in their dry-aged, thick, 8 oz burger. Some of those ingredients are tangy kimchi mayo, actual kimchi, and american cheese. If you like high-quality steak meat in your burgers, you’ll love this version, but it's a tough call—and the double smash definitely earns its spot on our Smashburger Power Ranking. Nowon also has a location in Bushwick." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
