In the clip, the chef is blown away by the "incredible" flavours in the burger. "This looks amazing," he says in the video, which the streetfood favourites shared on their Instagram. "This looks incredible. This is everything you want in a really filthy burger. Look at that."

As he takes his first bite, the chef then says: "That feels incredible. Honestly, probably one of the nicest chicken burgers I've ever eaten. Sauces are amazing. Kinda spicy, creamy, little bit tangy. Isn't it something sharp going on in there?
‌
"The bread is amazing. And that chicken's super, super soft and succulent. That is banging. Absolutely banging. Again, another ten out of ten."
