The burger show

 

This document is a trailer for The Burger Show. It is an American TV programme which speaks about burgers. The concept is about eating burgers : there is a host who is in New York and who travels the country to find the best burger. He is not alone, there is another man who accompanies him and there is also a burger scholar who has eaten 12000 burgers and who is a specialist.

 

The host has a goal : he wants to mix In-and-Out and Shake-Shack burgers to make a new burger. The others tell him he is crazy but he replies he loves meat and he loves burgers.
