Double Smash
The chain’s answer to the smash burger trend sits in its own section: two thin beef patties with two slices of burger cheese. It is the most American thing on the menu and the least like the rest of it, with none of the German toppings. There are single and triple versions too.

About Hans im Glück
Thomas Hirschberger, who had already built the Sausalitos cocktail-bar chain, opened the first Hans im Glück in Munich’s Neuhausen district in 2010. The name comes from the Brothers Grimm tale of Hans, who trades a lump of gold for ever smaller things and ends up happier with nothing, and the restaurants lean into the fairy-tale mood: dark furniture and a forest of bare birch trunks standing among the tables. The look was distinctive enough to end up in court, in a copyright dispute with a designer that was settled in 2016.
Close to a hundred restaurants, most of them in Germany, with branches in Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
