Hard Times Sundaes

"best burger andrew zurica made his name in the new york burgersphere hawking four-ounce smash burgers from a truck he parked in mill basin and south williamsburg, but he has lately taken up residence at a midtown food court. and while there is much to be said of the pleasures of gobbling smash burgers from a truck en plein air, whether it be the plein air of mill basin or south williamsburg, the move indoors hasn���t diminished the quality of zurica���s crackerjack griddle work. his is a whole-is-greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts burger, with every ingredient carefully considered and masterfully combined. chief among these ingredients is grease ��� that deep, delectable flavor of a broken-in flattop that imparts to each loosely packed puck of meat the seasoned remnants of burgers past. the american cheese is less melted than infused; it���s unclear where yellow goo ends and meat and bun begin. and that bun ��� a martin���s potato roll given a ride on an automatic butter-roller, then toasted on the griddle ��� manages to both contain the burger and cohere to it. that goes for the more precarious (and delicious) doubles and triples, too."
