Septemburger 2025: The Battle for Hamburger Supremacy
Season 3 Episode 22
🍔 Septemburger 2025: The Burger Tournament Begins! 🏆
GET HYPED!! It's that time of year again: Septemburger! The annual hamburger tournament is back, and eight chains are entering this greasy gauntlet. In this episode, I reveal all the contenders, break down how the tournament works, and review the first five burgers of round one. From a slew of mediocre burgers to Santa Claus cutting promos for Arctic Circle, this year is already unhinged in the best way.

📋 TOURNAMENT RULES:
-
8 chains enter, each providing 3 burgers.

Round 1: each chain's "#1-on-the-menu burger." Later rounds = specialty burgers.
-
Seeding is based on the best burger I've ever had at each chain.
