Burgers aren’t just meat on a bun. They’re a craft. Chefs have to choose between various meats, lean-to-fat ratios, buns, and toppings to create the perfect burger. This weekend, Arizona’s burger elite will face off at the ultimate burger challenge: the Burger Battle.
The competition will take place this Friday at the Scottsdale Waterfront. At the event, which runs from 7 to 9 p.m., local burger joints will sizzle and bun their best for a panel of judges, who will crown the ultimate burger champion. A People’s Choice winner will also be named. Tickets cost $65 and include unlimited burger tastings, shakes, fries, cold beers, and live entertainment.
Guests can eat and drink their way through 17 burger spots and vote for the People’s Choice winner. Competing restaurants include Hopdoddy Burger Bar, The District, Aioli Gourmet Burger, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company, HandCut Burgers & Chophouse, Four Peaks Brewing Company, and many more.
You must be 21 or older to attend. Budweiser is an event sponsor. Be sure to come hungry.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
