Why Trending
It turns a simple burger into a texture event: crackly edges, soft bun, and molten middle.
Origin
Diners, pop-ups, parking-lot griddles, and home cooks testing how much pressure a spatula can legally apply.
Foodoobie Take
Foodoobie approved, especially when the sauce is messy enough to require a plan.
