For Burgersmith, making hamburgers is an art. The Lafayette-based company tried 29 different blends of beef before deciding on its lean, juicy, flavorful recipe. Each burger is individually handcrafted and served on a fresh bakery bun, with an ample offering of toppings. The Smith Burger comes seasoned with Louisiana spices and Burgersmith’s own Smith sauce. The turkey burger, hand-pattied all-white turkey meat, comes topped with a house-made Cajun honey mustard. Whatever you choose, Burgersmith delivers a thing of beauty. Two locations. burgersmith.com
