Heart of Gold’s smash burger follows the classic formula of a thin, griddled patty with cheese and burger toppings, made for a fast, crisp bite. Cleveland magazine included it in a roundup of local smash burgers, which is clear evidence that the restaurant serves the dish. The burger should deliver the signature lacy edge and beefy center that define the style, with enough char to keep each bite interesting. It reads as a bar-restaurant version of the form, rather than a diner or fast-food copy.
