πŸ” Septemburger 2025: The Burger Tournament Begins! πŸ†

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.

πŸ₯Š Cook Out (featuring my Dad) vs. A&W (with Herbert Amaya) πŸŽ… Santa Claus Represents Arctic Circle vs. Carl's Jr. (with podcast composer James McEnelly) πŸ‘‘ Dairy Queen Wants to Melt the Competition (with Tyler Eaton) πŸ” The Tournament Sees its First Upset πŸ“£ Wrestling-Style Promos from Each Guest

πŸ“‹ 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.

  • Fill out your bracket here.

  • YOU MAY ADJUST your picks until end of day 9/24 as you follow along.

  • Anyone who correctly predicts the champion is entered into a drawing for the grand prize!

🎁 GRAND PRIZE: The winner can name any American chain restaurant I haven't covered yet, and I'll review it in Season 4. PLUS, I'll write and record a rap song about the winner or any food/restaurant topic of their choice.

πŸ”₯ SEMIS & FINALS: Coming 9/30 on Patreon for FREE (no subscription needed), or on the regular podcast feed in October.
