Deep Fried Pickles

On the left, juicy dill pickle chips dipped in a light batter and deep-fried. It's one of the menu items at Smashburger. I attended the social media preview last week at the newest store on Franklin near Milwaukee. The burger on my tray is a 1/4 lb with bacon, cheese and "Smashburger sauce," which has a mustard base. The burger is a "loose burger," not a hard-pressed, pre-formed patty. I'm not a big fan of hamburgers, however, I ate almost the whole thing! The generous slice of red onion is nice, too. We also sampled the sweet potato fries. I liked them better than the regular fries. Although the pickles were interesting, I really could only eat a few before the novelty wore off.
