"Whether social-media fame is sparked by an influencer or is the result of a concerted marketing effort to engineer a food's digital moment, timeline domination does not always correlate to actual quality."
"When I ordered a classic single and fries, both were plucked from heat-lamped zones. Sadly, my shoestring fries were cold, making a signature sprinkle of paprika all but imperceptible."
"Within its wrapper, a single cheeseburger patty was smashed until lacy and hanging invitingly outside of its Martin's bun, but there was way too much of the mayo-heavy spread."
"I stopped eating halfway through, by which time a line had formed and a full assembly was underway, but it was too late for me."
Hungarian Smashburgers, located at 42 Union Square E, are being reintroduced to New York after originating in Budapest. The reviewer ordered a classic single cheeseburger and fries, both served at inadequate temperatures. The fries were cold, diminishing the flavor of the paprika, while the cheeseburger had an overly generous amount of mayo-heavy spread, with no detectable grilled onions. Ultimately, the reviewer found the experience disappointing, concluding that if this is Hungary's best, American burgers remain superior.
