A thin patty pressed hard onto a hot griddle for a lacy crust, stacked with American cheese, the post-pandemic burger style Santa Monica took to Main Street.
The smashed patty came out of American griddle culture and swept LA during the pandemic pop-up era; Heavy Handed started as one of those pop-ups before opening on Main Street in Santa Monica, smashing short-rib-blend patties, frying in beef tallow and finishing with Straus soft serve. The style is now the city's default casual burger.
