Are going to try the number one ranked burger in The United States in 2025. It doesn't get better than that. I have no idea how many burgers they tier to get to this one as number one, but I'm in no place to argue right now. We're meeting up with Jay and the New York City king of burgers himself, better Johnny Novo. They only do 12 per night, so you gotta get there early, gotta order it right away to make sure you lock it down. What's crazy is that I've been before rank I didn't even think the burger was the best thing on the menu. If it wasn't a bar, I would argue that this place should be Michelin starred because the entire menu, Japanese American, wildly creative dishes. I haven't eaten at all of that. I am ready to best. So let's go check out Sip and Guzzle. Starting off with the volcano roll. It's supposed to look like a cigar stuffed with bluefin tuna and coconut sticky rice. Bad this before, I think it was my favorite thing last time. This taste. Bro, this is so good. Spicy mayo in there too. Crispy outside. Feel like Tony Soprano. This is a goji floss itself, fermented rice cream. Shout out my guy Rank right here. Shout out to Ryan. Grilled pork is supposed to be like a cottonseed outside thing.
