Making smash burgers start to finish from @seattlehanddoc

A couple demonstrates how to make smash burgers from scratch. They start by dicing and caramelizing a large batch of onions, then prepare a special sauce by mixing the onions with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and freshly grated pickle relish. Next, they form and season ground beef patties, smash them on a hot griddle, cook them with cheese, and toast brioche buns before assembling the final burgers and taking satisfying bites.
