you call this shit a burger?

So bullshit. The only reason to buy from them was that DoorDash used to run a buy one get one free deal. They are pretty tasty tho

>>21396035
for the price, it’s absolutely ridiculous

That is actually what a proper portion of burger should look like. It shouldn't be those huge 1000 plus calorie monstrosities. Our portion sizes are out of control and our perception of normal portion size has been warped.

>>21396074
Bootlicking faggot. Imagine defending 100+million dollar corporations who give you less than an oz of beef and charge 8 dollars for supermarket preservative bread and some lettuce. What compels you to be such a limp wristed loser?

But how much was it? Personally, I don't judge food by price and portion only, I also judge quality by how large my bowel evacuations will be afterwards. Consider the price of toilet paper.

>>21396074
Cringe take. Look at the size of OPs hand compared to the burgy/tray. Not everything should be a "standard" portion size because no one is the same size

>>21396090
It’s $8 for their basic burger by itself

>>21396094
He has a normal sized hand for a man.

>>21396094
This is the burger next to a small water cup. Pathetic

>>21396027 (OP)
I'm shocked you're able to hold the bun like that without the whole thing sliding off your hand leaving behind a grease slick
Whoever decided to slather potato rolls in a fuckload of butter (they even made a special roller for it!) before using them to hold the greasiest smash burgers ever to come off a filthy griddle should be banned from food service.

Actually fucking inedible it's so greasy, and this is coming from a guy that devours poutine covered in corned beef hash

>>21396078
I didn't defend the company. I said we (Americans) have a warped view on what proper portion size. I also think you're a fucking moron if you go to one of those premium burger joints like Shake Shack and complain about it. Wow, an upscale burger place charges high prices? This is tyranny!

>>21396027 (OP)
I weigh 140lbs and I was still hungry after eating a burger and fries at Shake Shack, no joke. It was expensive too, and this was over 6 years ago. Never been back, it tasted good but it's just not worth it.

>>21396138
Portions in the US are large but shake shack can fuck off when their tiny disgusting grease slick costs the same as this beauty

>>21396138
>shake shack
>premium
lmao maybe they were premium over a decade ago when they were still very small, but these days they’re barely a step above mcdonalds

yup and it's the same price as 5 guys while being comically smaller and less tasty

>>21396166
Great. I accept your concession.

>>21396148
I'm also 140 lbs and I had a chicken sandwich and fries and was full. This was also around six years ago. But I agree it was too expensive even back then in the pre pandemic years.

>>21396131
Exactly my point, burgers are meant to be held with a full grown mans hand. Not the size of a palm

>>21396133

>>21396130
>>21396133
Seems like a gyp.

anyways, how does one make a burger blend together, without it being just meat between two buns?

>>21396412
I can palm a basketball with my huge man hands and I think OPs burger is the right size. Giant softball sized burgs are gross and insane portion sizes of unhealthy food are a huge part of why the average American woman 20 and older is 170 lbs and the average American male 20 and older is 200 lbs.

>>21396035
lol, Doordash is paying a taxi to go get your drive through food. That's retarded. You saved no money and your food is less fresh. Congrats on being a fucking moron consumer.

>>21396133
the patty looks thick, not like a Whopper which is wide and thin.
I'd rather have that burger than some mcdonalds shit.
How embarrassing that you're taking pics of your food. Are you hoping they see you and assume you're complaining? Is that as close as you get to being assertive about your expectations?

It's expensive but it's really the only legit smashburger you can get from a chain on the west coast. If I want value, I go to In N Out. If I want a nicely seared smash with perfect lacy edges I have to go to shake shack or heat up my griddle and do it myself

>>21396505
>Giant softball sized burgs are gross
Untrue
>insane portion sizes of unhealthy food are a huge part of why the average American woman 20 and older is 170 lbs and the average American male 20 and older is 200 lbs.
I agree, but I can enjoy a large burger with no fries and a bottle of water and not feel bad and be satisfied with my meal. A tiny burg, fries, and a soda is a way worse meal than 1 big ass burger

>>21396437
halve your patty and make a double burger. one slice of cheese between the patties. just pickle and/or onion as toppings.

>>21396610
A large burg is no better or worse than a small burg with fries and sugar water. It's all fucking terrible for you.

>>21396027 (OP)
A hand burger if you will

>>21396618
Burgers are absolutely fine. They're filling, not particularly high calorie, lots of protein and other macronutrients.
Even the fries are fine as long as you don't eat a fuckton of them.
The problem with fast food is purely portion size on the fries and soda (soda is easily the worst for you)

>>21396606
Smash burger joints are popping up all over the place, all of them way better than shit shack

>>21396027 (OP)
it's supposed to be a 1/4 patty. They hand smash them so they probably just fucked yours up

>>21396094
>Not everything should be a "standard" portion size because no one is the same size
True, many of you are morbidly obese.
