Very hard to beat. I’m not sure I have had better tbh. They don’t do a smash burger
Have been for one today. Really eating badly at the moment!
Dirty Bones, just behind Piccadilly. Was good. Not quite as good as Zephyr at the weekend, or Half Man/Half Burger, though. No smash burger…

Chubby Berders are old hat. Smash for full flavor.

Straya has been producing Smash Berders since the 70s.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Maximum flavor = Maximum contact to drive the Maillard reaction.

No need for specialist restaurants either.
The best berders were cooked to order in Fish & Chip shops or Snack Bars as they are often called.

The place we were eating at grew from a van that used to be parked in a scabby ally behind a pub - They’ve done well. Owner Oz Harborth won National Burger Chef of the Year. Then Zephyr was a finalist in the UK’s top burger awards in 2023. Of course it’s not just the smash it’s what’s in the patty that counts a great deal too.

Date back to the 30’s-40’s in Canada and the US, when all the cooking in diners was done on flattops.
Many diners in both countries were/are owned by Greek emigres. In the 60s they began installing charcoal grilles in addition to the flattop and the public’s taste changed to char-broiled
Modern version aren’t yer grandparents smash berders, they’re from restaurants that specialize in the type and mostly use either a custom grind from a butcher partner or grind in house. Buns are better now too

I struggle with the word ‘broiled’. Water is implied along with something else but what? Where does the word come from, what does it mean and isn’t there already a perfectly good word for whatever it actually is? CUNTS!
