"Saigon Social’s portly burger might convince you to abandon your allegiance to smash patties. This Vietnamese restaurant on the LES tops its burger with accessories typically found on bánh mì, like pickled carrots and daikon, pâté, a handful of cilantro, and a couple of jalapeño slices. And you can taste the quality of the meat, which is made with a combination of short rib and dry-aged rib eye. The burger isn't on the regular menu, but is often available as a special—or ask and you may be able to order one off-menu." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
