Copycat method basics

1. Use smash-style patties. Cook hot and fast for crisp edges and deeper flavor.

2. Toast the buns. A lightly toasted bun helps texture and prevents sogginess.

3. Keep toppings cold. Crisp lettuce and chilled tomato add contrast.

4. Balance the spread. Mayo, ketchup, relish, and a little tang go a long way.
