Right. We're seeing that raging fried chicken burger vegan pulled pork, a double cheeseburger. It's just some of what we got this morning on the best of New Jersey. And you sell New Jersey's Tony Caputo and photojournalist, Rudy Boat are checking out a burger joint in Shrewsbury and Tony. I see you're waiting for us to start eating. Yeah. Yeah. We're trying to be polite for once and not digging in right away and have our mouths full of food when we start this stuff here. You know, best in New Jersey. We are doing it today at uh Hartley Hearth Hartley Burger. I keep messing that up. Chris Guch is the chef here and owner Jason Thompson is the head of hospitality. We got a few burgers here. Hearth Lee Burger. Tell me about the name you and your wife created. Yes. So is basically eat with your heart from the earth. So we use all non GMO local organic ingredients. Um We try to use very sustainable. For example, this chicken here is, it's a chicken called Do Good Chicken and they actually use surplus grocery store food waste to make the chicken feed. Yeah. So each chicken reduces £3 of carbon emissions and £4 of food waste. This is all very important to you. And also, yeah, it's very important. The sustainability, but most important is the taste of this chicken because most chickens, even organic chicken, they're fed corn and soy where this chicken eats everything from bagels to broccoli where it's getting the true nutrients that chickens are supposed to get. So the meat actually tastes better. Fantastic. Jason. Uh you know, and you're sitting in the world as you said, Jason, uh you know, as much as I wanna try that, I'm gonna eat this burger in a minute because that, that just, I've been dying to bite into that. But what, what separates her burger from the others? I mean, I can get chicken. I get burgers anywhere besides what the chef just told us, which is important. Yeah, just like the boss said, obviously we got unique value with this awesome food. But you know, I'm head of hospitality here at Hertle burger and I feel like every time I go out to eat to a restaurant, the service is just so bad. I call up a restaurant and they're like, oh, you know, what could I get you? What could I get you? And here at her is different. It's just different. We care about our customers, our cus they're not even customers at this point. It's like a family. We treat our customers like a family and like I said, this food is way too good to not have great service. Jason. Fantastic. And, and this is fantastic. I've been eyeing this up since it was made digging in. That's all you get in here. This is the best in New Jersey. This is delicious. If you're heading to the beach, grab one and head on down. It was a great guys. We'll send it back to you. We're gonna eat best in New Jersey. New, I've never seen Tony. So fight in that moment, he was really enjoying that burger, a burger like that will do that to you.
