"The reviewer visits Au Cheval in New York, eager to try its highly ranked double smash burger. The experience is marked by anticipation and sticker shock at the $40 price tag, but the burger arrives loaded with gourmet toppings like maple-glazed bacon, avocado, and a perfectly cooked egg. While the presentation and ingredients impress, the reviewer finds the burger a bit too complex, feeling that the beef and sauce flavors are lost among the many add-ons."
