It’s gonna be a smash burger contest. If you don’t know what a smash burger is or if you don’t like smash burgers or your teacher at culinary school taught you to never smash a burger then don’t enter. IDGAF
I’m going to interview judges that understand and appreciate the style of burger and they will be panelists.
If you enter and present a traditional fat patty burger I will personally embarrass your entry for not understanding the competition you entered.
This is not a traditional hamburger contest (no slight to traditional hamburgers, they can be great) but a traditional fat hamburger is not a fuxking SMASH Burger.
The rules will be simple.
You can cook with anything you want, a griddle, cast iron pan, you can bring a whole conventional kitchen if you want to lug it. But you’ll cook in front of the judges and we will judge you based on cooking a real smash burger, the bun, the flavor and the construction of the burger.
Again, please don’t enter if you don’t know what a smash burger is. I’m begging you. Go enter a burger contest somewhere else.
This is going to be a best smash burger contest. date TBD

For reference Oak To Ember’s smash burger-

More importantly, for reference, the style in preparation from onlydbls in Naples
