First Impression Rose 🌹

• Suzie Burger | As soon as I moved to Sacramento, I instantly felt a connection with Suzie Burger. Their burgers are thick, packed with flavor, and cheesy in all the right ways.

Week 1 Rose Ceremony 🌹

• Willie’s Burgers | A great burger for going out on weekends, I’m really hoping the connection we’ve made holds strong during the weekdays as well.
• Flaming Grill Cafe | These worldly burgers are very intriguing. I’m hoping we can spend some more time together so I can gain some clarity.
• Crepes & Burgers | These burgers seem very intentional, but with such a big focus on breakfast, I need to know they’re here for the right reason.
• Scott’s Burger Shack | An old flame from when I lived in South Sac, the producers are wondering if there’s still enough of a connection to rekindle that spark.
• Squeeze Burger | My toxic trait is eating more cheese than my body can handle. For that, this burger gets a rose.
• Pangaea Bier Cafe | The looks, the taste, the resume — this season’s arguable frontrunner has it all.

Week 1 Eliminations 🥀

• Skip’s Kitchen | This was such a hard decision *wipes away tear* — but I just didn’t feel a connection with Skip’s.
• Sunflower Drive In | These burgers are a little too nutty for me — kind of like Shanae and Lace (if you’re currently watching “Bachelor In Paradise” season eight, you know).
• pure soul plant-based eats | These burgers are so deserving of love, but I just don’t think plant-based burgers are for me.
