Wet Burger
2600 NW Second Ave., Miamiinstagram.com/wetburgermiami Turkish street food has made its way to Miami via Smorgasburg with the recent launch of Wet Burger. The new weekend vendor prepares a traditional take on Istanbul's Islak-style hamburger, a beef patty cradled in a soft white bun that’s doused with a garlicky, tomato-based sauce and left to sweat inside a steam box until served. The burgers are served moist and warm, packing a savory punch thanks to the spicy sauce, the key ingredient to creating these "wet" burgers that make for the perfect post-drinking snack. Noon to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
