How it works
What is a bang-bang? “It’s where you have a meal at one spot, and then immediately hit up another place…Bang-bang.”
We are putting our spin on a bang-bang. The Burger Bang-Bang objective is to put 6 of the top burger joints in town to the test, for a friendly burger battle. We will compare the classic double cheeseburger (with traditional toppings) at each location.
As a Burger Bang Banger, you must take your time and savor each bite, document with photos, and take your new job seriously…but not too seriously. You should not set out to be the next great food critic; the Bang Bang is all for fun and to support our local restaurants during these challenging times. If you love their burger, tell them with a tip and a post on social!
Spread love and mayonnaise. Now let’s go Bang Bang!
