Smashburger has introduced a new sandwich - the double Carolina BBQ burnt ends burger.
The fast food chain, which is a rival to the likes of Shake Shack, unveiled the burger this week.
Inspired by regional flavors from the Carolinas and Kansas City, the sandwich features two beef patties topped with bacon strips, the tips of which have been slightly burned.
