San Francisco's burger scene is thriving, with numerous pop-ups offering smash burgers. Smish Smash, which opened in January 2023, is notable for its crispy 'lace' edges that provide a distinct texture. Co-owners Victor Donado and Amy Han have crafted a menu that includes a variety of classic burgers, but the highlight is the Dac Biet, which reflects the flavors of Vietnamese pho. The couple blends their culinary experiences from fine dining with fast food nostalgia, creating a unique spin on the traditional cheeseburger.
"We’ve taken everything we love about burgers and elevated it with techniques learned from fine dining, combining it with the nostalgia of fast food favorites."
"The lace effect is essential; it brings an incredible crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft bun and creamy cheese, setting our burgers apart."
