The story
Tucked near the Japanese street in Paris, Smash Burger has earned a solid 4.7-star rating, but one creator’s take is more measured. Franchino Er Criminale—of *Panini criminali PARIGI* fame—calls the burger “decent,” though he’s quick to note a flaw: the meat’s natural flavor is “completely masked” by the assertive trio of smoked sauce, raw onions, and pickles.
It’s a classic smash-burger conundrum: the technique delivers a crisp patty, but the toppings can overwhelm. Fans of big, saucy bites may find this a feature, not a bug. For purists who want the beef to shine through, Franchino’s critique is a fair warning. The Regular Smash Burger is the only dish cited—no frills, just a straightforward take on an American classic in a casual, takeout-friendly setting.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
The regular smash burger draws raves for its perfect crispy edges and juicy interior, creating a vibe of unpretentious, craveable comfort that keeps regulars coming back.
“The patty is small but well-caramelized. The secret sauce is smoked, and at first bite the cucumber and smokiness prevail — I didn't taste anything else. Second bite, all the raw red onion hit my palate and devastated it. Third bite, the palate starts to get used to it and it's more balanced. Fourth bite, I still can't taste the meat at all. The meat inside is juicy, not dry, but between the smoked sauce, raw onions, and cucumber, I don't taste the meat at all. It does its job overall, but I can't give it more than a 7.”
