Only freaks eat hamburgers that have way too thick patties. 1/4 inch thick patties are just flavorless globs of meat.
Found the guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing lol

Yep, it was invented because a customer was in a hurry and kept bitching at a short order chef to hurry up at a small diner in Wichita, KS. Chef got pissed and flattened the ball of meat on the griddle. Saw how much the customer liked it and how quickly they cooked compared to the traditional way.
Don’t know about that but Bill Culvertson from Kentucky is credited with inventing the Smash burger.

Just like every dive bar in the Caribbean claims to be where Cheeseburger in Paradise is based on?

My smash burgers have plenty of flavors and only sit on the griddle for a couple of minutes on each side. Enough time to add a char to the outside while the inside remains juicy.

I am not here to argue with anyone.
I really like a double patty smashburger with american cheese, shaved onions and bacon.
I also like a half pound burger cooked medium.
They aren't the same.
Both are delicious.

Recent uptick in popularity is a backlash against decades of the gourmet burger fad. People are getting tired of the bacon jelly kimchi fried egg and peanut butter burgers.

I thought the cheeseburger in paradise was cooked by Jimmy's sister, LuLu in the small burger joint she owned beside the bait shop on Weeks Bay, Alabama. back then (before moving to the intercostal waterway and the money printing tourist trap, she has now.
We stopped there one night 40 years ago on our way from Meridian to Gulf Shores and Jimmy was waiting tables for LuLu. Only six or eight of them in the place. She had someone not show up for work. He was intown and so he was helping her out.
It was late on a weeknight and the place was empty, so he sat with the wife and I and had a beer and stole a few fries off her plate. Nice guy, and the burgers were always the best there. For whatever we did back then, we always times our trips to stop there going down. Sometime that night he talked about how much he missed being with her and how much he liked coming back off the road to visit.
100% true story.

According to Jimmy it was at Village Cay Marina in Tortola the British Virgin Islands. It was also more a product of being starving than being a good burger.

Made my first smash burger after getting a griddle. Haven’t fired up the grill since and don’t really miss it. Smash burgers are awesome.
Going to try a thick burger on the griddle soon. Expect it to be great too.

Don't take my word for it, but I had an amazing double meat smash burger from Sonic about a week ago. It's new on their menu, I took a chance and it was glorious.

Me too sometimes but I just stack a couple or three griddled smashed thin burgers. Seems to have more flavor - four or six exteriors vs two.

If you make them half pound burgers they aren’t all that thin when smashed.

So what’s the point in “smashing” them

The maillard reaction. Browning of the meat is the basis for all cooking. It's what creates flavor.
On an another note, thanks for all of the ideas and discussions. I have learned a ton stalking this board and it's my go to search for many recipes on Google of course.

A double smash burger is way better than a thick patty. More browning more cheese wnd juicy as frick without being super rare.

Saw it on an episode of Food that Built America on the History Channel so it must be true . . . I'm not an expert but that's how the show portrayed the events leading up to the start of white castle and how the traditional hamburger became flat. It wasn't called a smashburger.
