Manage episode 438042381 series 3461325
Your chance at $500 is here!
- Septemburger is once again upon us, and this time I've scoured the nation for 8 fast food burger chains to compete in the annual contest
- I'm joined by a slew of guests: my own Dad, I Think You Should Leave's Steve Moulton, and my friends Kellie Baldwin, Herbert Amaya, and Ashley Robinson
- Click here for a direct link to the Septemburger 2024 Bracket Google Form (due by end of day September 10th, 2024)!
- Septemburger Rules explained:
- 24 burgers across 8 fast food/fast casual restaurants are sampled
- First round matches pit basic burgers against basic burgers (the #1 on their menus) to see who has the fundamentals
- Burgers are given a score by Michael & guest, which are averaged and compared to their opponent each round
- Winning chain advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated from the tournament (therefore, their other two burgers don't factor in)
- Semi-Finals & Finals conducted on a FREE episode on September 30th on the "Fine" Dining Patreon
- First Round Match-Up: Steak 'n Shake (#2 seed) - The Original Steakburger vs. Rally's Drive-In (#7 seed) - The Big Buford
- First Round Match-Up: Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers (#3 seed) - The Freddy's Original Double vs. Culver's (#6 seed) - The Butterburger
- Scoring the Whataburger at the #4 seed, Whataburger
