Transcript

According to a 2017 study, there are only 31 gas stations left on the island of Manhattan, and only one sells a Smash Burger. Today's best frisbee review comes from the viral Smackin' Burger in the Best Village. It ran $13.99 for a burger and fries, which makes it the second cheapest yet for the great American combo, only behind the people's champ Jubilee Marketplace. Their signature big smack weighed in at a respectable 9.5 ounces, which is a full ounce above the average double smash. Alright. I'm a run this one live for the love of the game. It's been a minute since I've done one live. Pretty good size. I'm trying to figure out how to go out of here. Alright. Pretty solid first bite. I would like a little more beef forward flavor. A lot of cheese, not enough beef. How's the better bite? That thing is shiny. I like the pickles in tier. Pickles slicing through the richness. Shout out to pickles, man. Not the best smash burger I've ever had. Like this and Gotham aren't even in the same. Not even the same realm. Gotham's my number one smash burger. It's good. Yeah. The beef just gets ground out. They'll bad the cheese and the sauce. It's overwhelming. What a decent better.
