In Kansas City there’s a little shack called Town Topic. 8 people get in that place and it’s packed tight. Been around forever. I first noticed it when I moved here and late night Friday and Saturday when the bar crowd was looking for food a line would be wrapped around the building.

It is a type of smash burger that’s cooked on an old griddle, greasy in all the right ways a drunk man could want at 2am without being a problem during the more sober times. To me it’s the best burger I can get hold of.
