Eat at Robs
Smash burgers get their name from how they're cooked. Beef patties are smashed onto a blazing hot grill and sizzled until golden brown. The outside ends up with a crisp, caramelised lace-like crust – the best bit about a smash burger. Eat at Robs, located in the front window of Darling Street Meats butchery in Rozelle, specialises in Oklahoma-style smash burgers. And you're gonna wanna try them. Eat at Robs (short for Rozelle's Original Burger) was born when owner Michael Carter returned home from travelling and found a lack of good smash burger options. What began as a market stall has now grown into a burger shop with many loyal fans (including us). The menu is short and simple. Choose from a grilled chicken or a smashed burger, featuring 100 per cent grass-fed beef, caramelised onion and melted cheese on a Martin's Potato Roll that are soft, squishy and a little bit sweet. A single cheeseburger will set you back $10.50; make it a double for $12.50, or go all out and order the combo, which comes with chips and your choice of soft drink. There are also off-menu items, like the Aussie burger, the Big Rob and loaded fries – just ask. Extra toppings, like lettuce, tomato, pickles, guac, beetroot, bacon and more, are available starting at just $1. And there's a bunch of sauces to choose from, like Robs mayo, tomato sauce, smoky barbecue, garlic aioli and spicy Robs. But if it's your first time, we reckon you should start with the classic and add pickles, lettuce and Robs sauce. Warning: the double may bring on a nap—speaking from experience. Burger lovers, you know what to do – next stop, Rozelle. These are the best burgers in Sydney.

Austin's Salty Sow and Waylon J's Combine Forces for a Smoke Break Barbecue Lunch
Once you see something, it can't be unseen — that's what happened to Salty Sow owner and executive chef Harold Marmulstein, who noticed that his restaurant's large parking lot sat unused during the day. The Salty Sow only serves dinner, and its location in Rosewood, just five blocks east of the University of Texas stadium, is a prime spot in an area without enough free parking. Marmulstein wanted to find a use for the restaurant and all that parking space during the day. When a mutual friend introduced him to Waylon J's pitmaster Chad Deen at a barbecue tasting, Marmulstein was bowled over by what he ate, and an idea struck. Smoke Break, a pop-up experience between the Salty Sow and Waylon J's, was born. Deen uses a custom-made pit with a 1,000-gallon smoker on it at the restaurant and serves up what Marmulstein calls 'the best barbecue I've tasted in Austin.' Meanwhile, the staff at the Salty Sow make all the sides and desserts. 'We work together on the sandwiches, so it's not just chopped brisket or pulled pork thrown on a bun,' Marmulstein says. The elevated take on barbecue sandwiches includes a prime brisket option that gets sliced, not chopped, and served with pickles, slaw, and au jus on a buttered and double toasted Martin's Potato Roll; smoked and butter-basted white meat turkey breast, also served with pickles and slaw, in an Alabama white sauce atop a buttered potato roll; and a whole hog sandwich made with smoked pulled pork and a sprinkle of cracklin' pork belly spayed in whiskey maple mop and gold barbecue sauce. If you're waffling on which one to try, you're not alone — when pressed to pick a favorite to recommend, both the chef and the pitmaster went into detail about why each is better than the next. There are also barbecue platters, made from those same meats, plus Psycho Sausage made by Deen, which Marmulstein describes as 'moisty, juicy, not broken and dry or fatty — it's the perfect blend.' A Sichuan bacon rib, soaked in Andalusia whiskey maple mop with Sichuan peppercorns and chili crisp, offers a fusiony riff. The duo decided to keep the sides classic, with pinto beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. 'Piggybacking on the Salty Saw, and Harold's team, with an established restaurant that has been doing well for 13 years while we've been in a trailer, it's like we won the lottery,' Deen says. 'None of us have experience with going brick and mortar. These guys are making the transition easier, and hopefully in the long run, when we get our own spot, we'll have that experience.' Try Smoke Break Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. or when the food sells out. Marmulstein says that the team would like to expand to add on Thursdays soon, with an eye toward doing this collaboration five days a week. See More:

National Burger Day! Have you tried the ‘New Jersey slider'? Burger ranks among best in US
A New Jersey burger joint's unique take on a beloved American staple has earned it a top 10 spot among the most delicious in the U.S., according to a new list from USA TODAY. "New Jersey sliders" — so named for their handheld size — are one of the tastiest regional burgers in America, and White Manna Hamburgers in Hackensack does it the best, says a pro travel and food writer with the USA TODAY's 10BEST panel. The Bergen County staple's unusual take on the burger ranks among meaty delights across the U.S. that are steamed, deep-fried, slathered in green chile or avocado, Asian-infused or stuffed with cheese. There's no better way to celebrate National Burger Day 2025 (yes, it's May 28) than by honoring a local eatery's take on a classic staple. Here's what makes it stand out, and how you can grab a slider or two of your own. White Manna Hamburgers has served up their burger sliders since 1946, when Louis Bridges opened the original restaurant after purchasing a diner showcased at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Still housed in its historic 1940s building, White Manna in Hackensack sticks to the basics when it comes to their meaty morsels: Golf ball-sized nuggets of fresh, extra lean ground beef (delivered daily from a local supplier) is sizzled on a griddle top, then topped with thinly sliced onions, pressed flat and served on a Martin's Potato Roll. A USA TODAY food expert says the burger has a distinctive flavor profile since the onions are cooked directly into the meat. The diner has also earned praise from celebrity chefs, been featured on The Food Network and The Travel Channel and appeared in several publications, including Thrillist and The New York Times. Where: White Manna Hamburgers is located at 358 River Street in Hackensack Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Online ordering? Yes! They offer an online ordering portal where you can schedule a pick-up time. It looks small, can I dine inside? Sure can! How much is a burger? $2.05 for a hamburger, $2.50 for a cheeseburger USA TODAY's top 10 list included the most "delicious and unique" types of burgers that showcase America's diverse food heritage. Since they are unique to their region, none of them earned a "rank," but rather a spot on the list. Here's the full list by region: Northeast region Connecticut steamed cheeseburger: Ted's Restaurant in Meriden, although Jack's Lunch in Middletown (a 1920s staple) gets credit for the one-of-its-kind steamed creation New Jersey slider: White Manna in Hackensack Southeast region Mississippi slugburger: Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain in Corinth South Carolina pimento cheeseburger: Chubby's Burgers & Brewhouse in Columbia Frita Cubana: Originated in Cuba, but found a home in Miami's Cuban-American community, with El Rey de las Fritas offering the "real-deal" Midwest region Juicy Lucy: Cheese-stuffed burger at two Minneapolis, Minnesota bars — Matt's Bar and the 5-8 Club Southwest region Oklahoma onion burger: Thinly sliced onions pressed into patties. Locals flock to Onion Burger Day in El Reno every May. New Mexico's green chile cheeseburger: The Owl Bar in San Antonio is the place to try a chopped Hatch green chile and melted cheeseburger. Western region California burger: Fresh avocado makes the burger distinct. The original Habit Burger & Grill in Santa Barbara does a fresh, local take. Hawaiian burger: Marinated in sweet teriyaki, topped with grilled pineapple. Kauai's Bangkok Happy Bowl reps the Asian-infused flavors best.
