Note, this video uses a form to keep the thickness, but Freddy's and Steak'n'Shake use a spatula and arm strength. So they get push through.

Thanks for sharing.

I now want something from Steak and Shake.
Thanks.

Havent been there for quite a while due to convenience, but the Frisco Melt is just plain excellent, even if a double doesnt even amount to a quarter pounder... the secret is that super extra sweet Thousand Island dressing

Runners up, chili 3 and 5 way... very filling and tasty

Had a Smashburger at the Newark airport, I think it was. I liked it—much more than Steak and Shake's.

Smashburger is overpriced bullshit

Never had S&S but I judge a burger place more off the fries.

You can have an awesome burger, but if your fries suck, I won't go back. Maybe that's weird?

Food and price good. But wait staff sucks. Metcalf and Shawnee Mission Parkway.

I've covered Smash Burger experience on CP a couple of times in the past. I got a burger that literally had chunks of grill scrapings on it. So perhaps it was just an off-day - however it's not near the value of S&S - Now I am NOT a fan of S&S fries - but they're not god awful - you almost have to luck out and get them fresh. Culvers fries are turd too.

Smash burger is overpriced, but they're good. I prefer 5 Guys, though.

I have still never experienced Steak and Shake. I wanted to hit one on the way out of Fayetteville last fall but I ended up going to Sonic instead for reasons I can't remember.

Haven't eaten there in quite a while, but the bacon double w/ fries and cheese sauce is my shit. The cookies are usually really damned good, too. You can get all of that (w/ two cookies) for about $7.50 after tax.

Biggest issue I have with the food is that I feel like I need to use a Stridex pad after eating it. The wrapping on the burger transfers the grease everywhere and I feel like I've been perspiring oil once I'm done.

I have a Smashburger within a mile of my house and I've only been there once. There's better local hamburger joints around.
