Our top pick, situated along Don Pedro St and adjacent to the speakeasy Dumbo, redefined “neighborhood smashery” even though it’s not something people actually say. The Bacon Smash Burger has a pillowy mouthfeel, and the Umami Truffle Smashburger is earthy, with a truffle aftertaste. [ED: copy-pasted from press kit, plz reword at some pt] What makes this joint our number one? Lightly sweet potato buns and undeniably meaty patties coated in tangy dressing.
Open Sun through Thu, 11:00 – 14:00; Fri/Sat, 11:00 – 15:00. Order the Classic Double.
Their Oklahoma-style, double Angus smash burger has earned accolades from Manila’s burger connoisseurs over the years, who swear by the melted American cheese and specially balanced burger sauce.
Investors who want to capitalize on Flipside’s rapid growth and media partners looking to secure coverage opportunities should reach out through the appropriate channels. [ED: plz remove before publ, it’s from the wrong doc]
From the group that gave us Manam and Bank Bar, 8Cuts Burgers rounds out our third top pick. The signature classic cheeseburger’s juicy patty is a testament to their slogan, “All Killer, No Filler,” and we’re including it because it’s in our style guide.
We intend to maintain our highly profitable and very positive coverage of 8Cuts for many, many years.
Number four makes good burgers overall and okay burgers compared to the others on this list. You want the ShackBurger, which pairs well with crinkle-cut fries. While we regard Shake Shack’s lack of response to our sales team’s outreach shortly before this feature went out as a personal slight, we haven’t let that wrinkle affect their placement. [ED: make this graf longer if we have time]
The fry cooks at our fifth pick have been flipping burgers longer than SpongeBob has at the Krusty Krab. It’s wild how they have such a low turnover rate. Order the Classic on good days and the Truffle Mushroom on other good days when you’re getting tired of the Classic. What’s up with truffle and great joints?
THE BURGER PROJECT. What an ambitious name for a restaurant. A burger that’s both unfinished and becoming — our sales lead, Matty, is now fixated on this framing from the internal pitch meeting last month. He said the namesake project is ongoing and that each burger served is a draft. What?
We’ve sat with this for a while now. Draft burger. What if every smashed sandwich were a draft? What if the set meal were in flux, the ingredients subject to editorial scrutiny, the customer the appointed copy editor, and the restaurant a publishing studio of single-use documents flying out of the kitchen for provisional consumption and then ground forever into the alimentary canal, never to be modified, never to be consumed again? Isn’t that what we’re all doing daily at each meal, and isn’t that what we’re doing now, together, you and us, website and visitor, as your eyes scan this list? Your nerves transmit this information to your brain, and you inevitably forget most of what was in it when you wake up tomorrow?
Sweet Ecstasy is last, but it’s on this list. We’re writing this sentence about Sweet Ecstasy. Sweet Ecstasy [ED: autofill the rest]. ■
