this one has more of a nostalgic, classic taste that I've had a million times

Loses the scoreboard 1-3, but Russ still calls it one of his favourite burgers of all time.
Russ calls the unnamed competitor the 'Little Lenny' for legal reasons; the opening frame shows a greyscale Big Mac, and the 'bread in the middle' confirms it. It wins the onion-and-pickles round, loses on price, weight and beef diameter (80mm), and ties on girth and taste with a nostalgic, classic flavour. The 'favourite burger' line most likely refers to this burger, which lowers confidence somewhat.
