The NYC Smashburger Power Rankings - New York - The Infatuation

"Your Order: Double Gotham Smash ($12) with everything, and an order of frickles ($8). If Gotham Burger Social Club’s double smashburger had its own Instagram account, it would probably post a photo of its brown, griddled bun with the caption “So I did a thing.” Lots of places toast the inside of their buns for a buttery crisp, but GBSC on the Lower East Side toasts the exterior of the top bun, then layers it with lacy, caramelized beef patties, steamed onions, pickles and pickled jalapeños, plus a slice of gooey american cheese. The result is a textural wonderland." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim
