""In a sense it's like fashion: Everyone was wearing skinny jeans and now the pants are baggy again. But I do feel like the world is gravitating more back to tradition because the world is moving too fast and everyone now is like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not smash these burgers any thinner.'""
""These are just a few of the longstanding city restaurants that did not give into the smash burger craze and stuck to the type of burgers we all grew up eating at backyard barbecues.""
The Bay Area has seen a surge in smash burger popularity, but San Francisco is witnessing a return to thicker, juicier patties. Restaurants like Side A, Dingles Public House, and RT Bistro are embracing this trend, offering bistro-style and tavern-style burgers. Chef George Dingle notes that this shift reflects a desire for traditional flavors as people seek comfort in familiar styles. Established restaurants like Nopa and Zuni Cafe have maintained their classic burger offerings, contributing to the resurgence of thicker burgers in the city.
