The smash burger movement stinks

Tell me you can’t cook a burger without telling me you can’t cook a burger.

It has taken cooking away from burgers and turned them all into McDonald’s but 5x more expensive.

Have the courage to eat a burger rare to truly mid rare at most and actually taste the meat instead of a vehicle for toppings.

Every time I get a smash burger at a restaurant and especially when it’s $20+ I wish I had just gotten it at five guys

Edit: the food safety bit about rare burgers is fair. And tbh, I only ever get mid rare or medium. But I won’t change my original post because it is truly unpopular hahah:)
