is there any reason to cook burgers any other way than smashed?

smash the burger as thin as possible and cook over high heat on a griddle for the best maillard reaction. every other method is just a meme.

Looks great OP. After trying smash burgers, every other way to cook burgers just seems inferior now.

Frankly I don’t know. I work at a local burger joint where we just throw a ball of ground beef on the flat top, smash it down, and season it with salt and pepper as it cooks and the patties usually turn out delicious and look like pic related. I’m pretty sure fast food burgers use some kind of filler despite their claims to be using pure beef. Probably has to do with their burger patties coming to the restaurant frozen too.

Culvers and in n out are the best. Is in n out a smashed burger like at culvers? I've gained like 10 lbs since learning how to make smashed burgers.
