Run, don't walk to Jaffar's! I had a double Golden burger and it was expertly cooked! So many smash burgers don't have the crust on the beef which is smash burger 101. Jaffar's Golden burger had the crust. The Golden is based on the Oklahoma onion burger, the onions were steamed, caramelized and also crunchy depending on where they contacted the cooking surface. The Golden burger has their "lovely" sauce on it and halal spices so it is a unique take on the OG OK onion burger. Definitely a 10/10 for execution and taste. Next time I go I'll try the Silver burger and then the Lava. I know George Motz is the burger scholar but Jaffar will make a believer out of you! Great job sir! 1/28 Update: I went back for the double silver burger and fries yesterday. The fries were excellent and a very generous portion too! The silver burger was executed to perfection again, nice lacey edges and plenty of melty cheese. The lettuce, tomato and onion were all incredibly fresh.
