Rated 9.0/10 by The Infatuation — one of Nashville's strongest smashburger editorial signals. Dylan Field's East Nashville food truck brings Prince's Hot Chicken DNA to Bear Creek Farm smash patties behind No Quarter.

Brave Idiot is a permanently parked food truck behind No Quarter pinball bar on East Nashville's Main Street, run by Dylan Field — a former cook at Prince's Hot Chicken, Nashville's legendary originator of hot chicken. Dylan brought that hot chicken obsession to a compact menu that has quietly become one of the most talked-about spots in the city, anchored by smashburgers using Bear Creek Farm beef and served with the same intensity as the hot chicken.
The Crispy Boi — two Bear Creek Farm patties smashed directly into grilled onions on the flat-top — delivers what The Infatuation called the most caramelization in all of Nashville's best burgers guide. The cheese is dominant in every bite, the grease is intentional, and the smash sauce ties it together. For adventurous eaters, the Crunchsmash wraps those same patties with pimento cheese, salt-and-vinegar chips, and reaper ranch in a jumbo tortilla.
Smashpatty behemoths loaded with gooey cheese and served in all kinds of brain-twisting variations. Burger innovation at its finest.
The smashed patties have the most caramelization on this guide. The cheese is a dominant flavor in every bite.
Two smash patties with pimento cheese, pickles, red onions, chips and reaper ranch in a tortilla; honestly the best burger I've ever had.
This burger has garnered some serious praise. A food truck just behind No Quarter - look for the Crispy Boi and Big Boi Deluxe.
Best Smash Burgers around. Fried chicken is amazing. You can go no heat or all the way to 11.
For those who think a smashburger might just be a patty melt with a better publicist, the Mattie Melt is for you.
