Here, you don\u2019t get to choose what\u2019s for lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The brand-new restaurant \u2014 a viral sensation when it appeared  in some cities \u2014 has but one burger on the menu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cDo one thing and do it the best you can,\u201d co-founder and co-owner Neen Williams said of the burger. A professional skateboarder, Williams opened the first NADC in Austin with chef Phillip Frankland Lee  in 2021. NADC stands for Not A Damn Chance, Williams\u2019 catchphrase. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The restaurant has grown to nine permanent locations, including one in Fort Worth, tucked inside a comedy club, plus one pop-up in Las Vegas. The new Dallas restaurant is bigger than some, but the CEO still handled the opening in a grassroots manner, spending a scant 21 days tearing out floors and painting walls in a former rundown bar  in Uptown.<\/p>\n<h2>What Makes NADC Burger Unique<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">While NADC\u2019s burger has a \u201cvery specific\u201d way it\u2019s built, customers can make changes, Williams said. But the co-owners don\u2019t recommend it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cEvery ingredient was put on the burger for a reason,\u201d Williams said. The team tried about 20 variations before landing on the right recipe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cWe have just one burger,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it has to be perfect every time.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>The Perfect Burger<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Let\u2019s build their $16 burger.<\/p>\n<p>Each NADC Burger is made with two Wagyu beef patties. They&#8217;re not technically smashburgers, CEO Gavin Humes said, because they&#8217;re not so thin to get a &#8220;lacy&#8221; edge.<\/p>\n<p>Shafkat Anowar \/ Staff Photographer<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4096 \/ 2732\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1300px) 830px, (min-width: 768px) 66.66vw, 60vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/BWH7BERLIJH3HK2UFDP54JMF2A.jpg?auth=a069239370c0db4a7cf06cbc713f06e7f0899b09cb853952a858c85cb72b0709&#038;quality=80&#038;width=250 250w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/BWH7BERLIJH3HK2UFDP54JMF2A.jpg?auth=a069239370c0db4a7cf06cbc713f06e7f0899b09cb853952a858c85cb72b0709&#038;quality=80&#038;width=430 430w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/BWH7BERLIJH3HK2UFDP54JMF2A.jpg?auth=a069239370c0db4a7cf06cbc713f06e7f0899b09cb853952a858c85cb72b0709&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830 830w\" class=\"dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2732\" src=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/BWH7BERLIJH3HK2UFDP54JMF2A.jpg?auth=a069239370c0db4a7cf06cbc713f06e7f0899b09cb853952a858c85cb72b0709&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830\" alt=\"Each flattened patty is seasoned with Neen Williams' \"OG steak\" spice blend.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Each flattened patty is seasoned with Neen Williams&#8217; &#8220;OG steak&#8221; spice blend.<\/p>\n<p>Shafkat Anowar \/ Staff Photographer<\/p>\n<h4>The Secret to a Perfect Burger<\/h4>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Next come the diced yellow onions, which are pressed into each NADC Burger patty, then flipped over so the onions can steam from underneath.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4096 \/ 2732\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1300px) 830px, (min-width: 768px) 66.66vw, 60vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/GU4Z4UDKW5HI5FX546JPCOHSPE.jpg?auth=dfc21b874910e62aef8ea3fcb6729c507cdc1db52182b8fbc0538cab50917145&#038;quality=80&#038;width=250 250w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/GU4Z4UDKW5HI5FX546JPCOHSPE.jpg?auth=dfc21b874910e62aef8ea3fcb6729c507cdc1db52182b8fbc0538cab50917145&#038;quality=80&#038;width=430 430w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/GU4Z4UDKW5HI5FX546JPCOHSPE.jpg?auth=dfc21b874910e62aef8ea3fcb6729c507cdc1db52182b8fbc0538cab50917145&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830 830w\" class=\"dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2732\" src=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/GU4Z4UDKW5HI5FX546JPCOHSPE.jpg?auth=dfc21b874910e62aef8ea3fcb6729c507cdc1db52182b8fbc0538cab50917145&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830\" alt=\"Next come the diced yellow onions, which are pressed into each NADC Burger patty, then...\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Shafkat Anowar \/ Staff Photographer<\/p>\n<h5>Adding the Final Touches<\/h5>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Say cheese!
