TastyPals Editorial Pick
PS
Priya Sharma
Dining Editor
“The smash burger at Milkweed is what keeps people coming back — the crust forms on a properly hot griddle and the cheese melts fully before it leaves the kitchen — the two things that make or break the format. 1,783 reviews later, the kitchen is still getting it right. Arrive early on weekends or expect a short wait — worth it. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.”
