I just met an unforgettable burger. Nevermind that burgers are everywhere. This one stands out and is available in only two spots – Golden Valley and St. Anthony (later in the year, Smashburgers move into Roseville and Plymouth). Made of Angus beef, it’s definitely “smashed” – that is, flatter rather than rounded. And it’s definitely flavorful and filling. (How filling? Though the burgers come in 1/3 and 1/2 pounds, even the smaller size seems too big for a single diner because it’s topped with a lot and spills over the egg bun). Reasonable prices at $4.99 for a classic 1/3 pound. But I’m going back for more than the burger. It’s the smash fries, thinly cut and tossed with rosemary, olive oil and garlic. Wow! (You only need to order a single portion to feed several with these.)

 Two locations: 509 Winnetka Av., Golden Valley, and  3900 Silver Lake Road, St. Anthony

If you’ve tried them, tell us what you think.
