  • 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
