Several dishes will be highlighted, possibly including the 22 West Burger, piled high with two patties, two pieces of fried chicken, mac 'n cheese, pork belly, lettuce, tomato, onions and an onion ring. Diners who finish the burger in 30 minutes — as well as a side of fries — receive a free T-shirt that says "I completed the ultimate challenge."

Restaurants featured on "America's Best Restaurants" are selected based on customer reviews, menu items, social media presence and level of involvement with the community.

Places are found through customer nominations, internal vetting or by a restaurant applying to be featured at americasbestrestaurants.com. More than 1,300 episodes have been filmed.
