"This Capitol Hill spot debuted a lunchtime-only, comes-with-fries smashburger operation every Wednesday to Friday from 12-3pm, and it's worth the 20-minute wait for an order. While the single option skews salty, the double-stack is excellent. Patties are so squashed that beef crunchies break off like little snacks, slivered onions are sweaty in certain places and fried to a crisp in others, and a buttery sesame bun only sliced two-thirds through means less mess. But what makes Harry's smashburgers truly stand out is the special sauce, loaded with a pickled pepper essence that weaves vinegary tang throughout." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
