Sep 05, 2023, 11:00 AM

It's football season so that means fantasy football is in full swing... which doesn't mean much for this show because it's all about burgers! Specifically drafting the most delicious burger lineup possible from Houston area burger restaurants. Join Eric Sandler, Mary Clarkson, Michael Fulmer, Monica Danna, Ryan Lachaine, and Bobby Matos as they select their ultimate burger lineup! 

Here's what the teams will be drafting: a Houston Burger Restaurant Burger, a Smash Burger, a Fancy Burger, Fries or Tots, a Milkshake, and a Wildcard.

Definitions:
  1. Houston Burger Restaurant - A Houston-based restaurant that serves at least 3 different burgers or has build your own options that allow for lots of variety. Greater Houston-area suburbs (Katy, Woodlands, Sugar Land, Clear Lake, etc.) are considered "Houston". 
  2. Smash Burger - A style of cheeseburger made with patties that are flattened on a griddle and typically served as a double. Does not need to come from a Houston Burger Restaurant.
  3. Fancy Burger - The only burger served at a fine/fine-ish dining restaurant with full service. Likely costs more than $20.
  4. Fries/Tots - A potato side from a Houston Burger Restaurant
  5. Milkshake - A milkshake from a Houston Burger Restaurant.
  6. Wildcard - Any burger from any Houston restaurant, including chains, or any dish served at a Houston Burger Restaurant such as a hot dog, chicken sandwich, an additional side, etc. 
The rule: once an individual dish from one restaurant is selected participants may not select any other dishes from that restaurant to fulfill the other categories. Participants six selections will be from six different restaurants.
