I recently fell in love with smash burgers. Many think there is only one place that makes these kinds of burgers. Thankfully, that isn't true. You can find these incredible burgers throughout America. "Only In Your State" claims to have found the best in Illinois.

What is a Smash Burger

Just in case you don't know what a smash burger is, it's actually just what the name suggests. Here's a quick explanation.
