The layers and "savory" history are the only things I spotted. Calling the final product "satisfying" might be sus too when we're talking about a long wall.

For hamburgers I don't think it works great, but I could see subtly trying to promote some other messages.

You can't really judge it like that though, the subtlety and indirectness are desired.

Previous studies where "thirsty" was inserted into a TV show did get a stat significant increase in desire in that product for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_stimuli#Consumption...

As in you don't need to say "Drink Coca-Cola" to get an increase in Coca-Cola purchases. You just need to present the word "thirsty" as was done in the above.
