The ingredient quality was another highlight for Rodeo Goat, with most judges giving solid scores of 4 or 5. Our judges praised the freshness of the ingredients, especially the patty seasoning and the quality of the bun.
Five Guys: A Classic Favorite Faces Tough Competition
Five Guys is no stranger to the burger game, with a reputation for consistently delivering simple, yet satisfying burgers. However, this round showed that the chain had a tough challenge going up against a more artisanal competitor like Rodeo Goat. Here's how Five Guys fared:
