The Best Smash Burgers In Los Angeles, Ranked - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Goldburger, which has locations in Los Feliz and Highland Park, was founded by a guy who used to rigorously document LA burgers on Instagram, which should tell you the level of obsession happening here. Well-seasoned patties and shaved onions are smashed in a way that creates thicker middle and crispy tapered edges, like a flying saucer or those high-end frisbees professional frolfers use. What keeps Goldburger from the top spot is their controversial use of an “award-winning” garlic-mustard aioli on the house burger, which doesn’t lend enough sweet tang to balance the savory, rich burger. The good news is that their double-patty California Classic—a suped-up Big Mac riff with special sauce, fresh pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced onion—is phenomenal enough to make us forget." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, nikko duren
