## Resource

What makes a great fast-food burger? Is it the beef, the bun, the nostalgia—or just how it hits at the drive-thru? This week, the Dojo crew is joined by Michael Herklots of Ferio Tego, Nick Libretti from JR Cigars, and William “Cigar Coop” Cooper for a no-holds-barred burger debate. Together, the panel builds an S-Tier ranking of fast-food burger chains, breaking down which joints deliver consistently—and which ones belong at the bottom of the list. Expect strong opinions, heated arguments, and plenty of hot takes as we crown the best (and worst) burgers in the fast-food universe. Hungry yet?
