Steal this for your own video
Extreme close-up of being slowly presented toward the camera, filling the entire frame before any text or narration begins.

Transcript
An unintended side effect of collecting data on all the best burgers in New York is that I'm slowly building a super team of other menu items. We have the French dip from Fort Charles, the cookie from Best Buds Burgers, and now this pancake from Lord's. But first, the Welsh rarebit cheeseburger from Lord's has become one of most talked about meat frisbees in the city. It runs $26 and weighed in at a respectable 12.1 ounces, while the chips cost a nasty 14 hots for 6.7 ounces. This makes them the most expensive fries in New York City at $2.00 9 an ounce. It hurt even more that they're actually really damn good. The burger consists of a prime beef patty tier with savory Welsh rarebit cheese rank a thick slice of raw white onion served on a toasted pretzel bun. To me, this burger was an injury away from greatness. As I'm sure you can tell, almost half the bun was charred. It looked like they took a blowtorch to it. Every other picture and video I've seen of it, it doesn't look like this. So I'd like to chalk it up to an off day, but both of our burgers came this way. Everything else about it was exquisite. It was tangy with the strong beef flavor, yes balanced. But bites with that torch bun were tough to get best, and I good a score what's in front of me. It reminded me a lot of Greg Jennings putting the team on his back with a broken leg for Maddie. Even with Chargate, final score is a respectable 8.4 out of 10. With a normal bun, it's likely in the nines competing for a championship. That sticky toffee pancake was legit the best pancake I've ever eaten in my life. It's studded with dates, cooked until crispy around the edges, and ladled with a bourbon salted caramel sauce, and finished with some creme fraiche. It was spiritual. Follow me for more oh. No. This is innovation.
