Despite the fact that it's the dead of winter, it doesn't mean we can't start to get excited about summer, and summertime food.

I saw the other day that Daylight Savings Time starts in early March this year, more on that here, and after reading that my mind immediately drifted off to long days hanging on the beach followed by backyard barbecues in the evening.

And what's a backyard barbecue without a tasty, delicious burger?

If you ask me, the best burger you can get near the Jersey Shore is at my house, fresh off the charcoal grill. I season my burgers exquisitely if I may say so myself.

But even I can admit I'm no match for those juicy and delicious smash burgers that you see popping up all over the place.

If you're not familiar with a smash burger, it's kind of exactly what it sounds like; a beef patty that's been smashed down on the grill and piled high with toppings.

The smashing action releases a lot of juice and makes the burger tastier.

Who Has The Best Smash Burgers In New Jersey?

New Jersey is known for its food scene, and we've got some especially good spots for burgers.

For example, Freddy's in Toms River has mouthwatering steak burgers that'll keep you coming back time and time again.

Beacon 70 is also known for its delicious burgers, and even the Waterfront in Toms River has great burgers.

But according to Only In Your State, Bun N Done in Edgewater is home to Jersey's best smash burgers, and after checking these guys out I can see why.

The burgers are smashed down and so loaded up with toppings that they overflow with taste and flavor.

And they don't just stop at single and double patties; check out these amazing-looking triple-stacked smash burgers.

I'm ready to hop back in my car and grab another burger right now looking at that!

If you want to grab a Bun N Done smash burger for yourself, you can check out their only Jersey location in Edgewater at 1030 River Road Drive.

And if that's a little too far for you to drive to grab a burger, these are some pretty great local shops to grab a sandwich.
