What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight, BBN Investigates. One burger. One state. A question nobody at the desk has been brave enough to ask.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHow does a fast food spot in New Mexico end up with a nationally known cheeseburger? I intend to find out.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI brought charts.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDo the charts prove anything?

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThey prove I brought charts.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorExhibit one. Yahoo reports the restaurant in question is a New Mexico fast food spot with a nationally known cheeseburger.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNationally known. Not locally. Not regionally.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSomeone wanted this burger known. The question is who.

  9. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMaybe the burger.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDr. Byte, we do not entertain a burger with motive.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's build a timeline.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorStep one: a burger is made. Step two: a person eats it. Step three: that person tells another person.

  13. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat is how everything spreads. Gossip, germs, and gravy.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGravy?

  15. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI lost my train of thought. It's early.

  16. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDr. Byte, your analysis. How deep does this go?

  17. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMy chart shows interest rising steadily with every bite. The axis is unlabeled. That's on purpose.

  18. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOf course it is.

  19. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow the rabbit hole. I have a source claiming the real cheeseburger is the one you don't order.

  20. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe secret menu.

  21. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA burger behind the burger. I covered coups with less intrigue.

  22. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentOr it's the same burger with extra napkins.

  23. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNapkins. Always the first thing to disappear in a cover-up.

  24. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGloria, the obvious answer is sitting right here. People tried it and liked it.

  25. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is the finding. The case is closed. Disappointing.

  26. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's BBN Investigates. Where is this place, anyway?
