Especially Smash Cheeseburgers

Why are smash burgers better?

A smash burger is exactly what it sounds like! A burger pressed down into a thin patty to get a good sear.

Now that we have clarified what a smash burger is, we can get into the details of why smash burgers are so tasty. The secret as to why they taste so good is due to the maillard reaction which is a form of browning and is "loosely explained as a chemical reaction between amino acids and a type of sugar called a "reducing sugar," located on the surface of food, in the presence of heat." This reaction is what helps to create those incredibly deep and savory flavors and aromas we so often crave.
