The crust is the point.
Two thin patties pressed onto 250°C steel for thirty seconds, until the edge goes craggy and brown. That edge is called lace, and it is the only reason to smash a burger.
Thirty seconds,
pressed once.

That is the lace. That is the point.
Six things.
No more.
Anything else on it is hiding the beef. If a burger needs a fifth sauce, the patty was not pressed hard enough.
- 01Brioche crown, toasted in the beef fat
- 02American cheese, on while the patty is still on the steel
- 03Two 60g patties of 80/20 chuck, never leaner
- 04Pickles, sliced thin enough to bend
- 05Lace sauce — and no, not the recipe
- 06Brioche heel, the only dry thing on the plate
