Gen Z mocks overpriced millennial burger restaurants online

Gen Z is making fun of “millennial burger joints” in a new trend on TikTok. These restaurants are known for their expensive burgers, unique toppings, and trendy decor. Features often include sky-high burgers, truffle fries, and small metal cups for condiments. The trend includes videos where users joke about the typical millennial burger spots. For example, TikTok user Jake Continenza shared a video of his experience at Burger Press in Minnesota. The video, which has over 8 million views, humorously points out how similar these burger places are. Continenza clarified he didn’t mean any harm, saying the food was good. He emphasized that the trend is all in good fun. On Reddit, users have joined the joke by creating “starter packs” that describe the typical millennial burger place. These memes highlight common features like overpriced items, unique toppings, and a hipster vibe. Comments range from complaints about high prices to jokes about how these burgers are “crafted” rather than made. Despite all the jokes, Continenza admitted these restaurants must be successful because they keep opening up. The trend shows a mix of humor and genuine critique about the dining experience offered at these burger joints.
