Originating from the classic diner culture, it has gained popularity for its simplicity and flavor. The technique of smashing the patty onto the cooking surface allows for better caramelization, enhancing the overall taste. This dish is often enjoyed at backyard barbecues, casual gatherings, and as a quick meal option.
