Again, the viral video from @yeahju1ia was filmed at The Highroller Lobster Co. in Portland and follows a TikTok trend using a clip from Chris Young’s “Gettin’ You Home,” timed to the lyric, ‘I don’t need this menu, no I don’t.

As silly as it may sound, 'The Glizzy Tower' might actually be the name of the order showcased in this video.

Back in January, The Highroller Lobster Co. posted a photo of a massive platter featuring six hot dogs, six corndogs, and two baskets of fries, asking for name suggestions. The top comment? 'The Glizzy Tower.'
