Third Annual “Wisconsin’s Best Burger” Contest launches this Friday

The Wisconsin Beef Council (WBC) will kick off the third Annual Wisconsin’s Best Burger Contest this Friday (February 13). 

The Council is on a mission to find and celebrate the most mouthwatering 100% beef burgers crafted by Wisconsin’s restaurants, bars and grills. Everyone has a favorite spot they choose for their favorite burger, and this is the opportunity to recognize those restaurants that work hard to create those delicious memories. The first two years of the contest sparked a burger frenzy across the state, with the Elite Eight finalists enjoying a surge in burger sales and statewide fame.

Starting Friday through Sunday, March 15,you can nominate your favorite beef burger from any Wisconsin restaurant on the Wisconsin Beef Council website at beeftips.com/bestburger. 

In late March, Wisconsin Beef Council will reveal the Elite Eight restaurants with the most nominations. A secret panel of judges will then embark on a delicious journey to taste and evaluate the top contenders. Burgers will be judged on taste, appearance, proper doneness, and overall enjoyment, with bonus points for the eating environment, atmosphere, and experience. The winner will be announced on April 24 as an early kick off to May Beef Month.

To be eligible for the contest, the hamburger must be 100% beef; be composed of a formed ground beef patty or patties served on a bun or other bread product. Burgers may include any combination of condiments. Burgers must also be available on the nominated restaurant’s regular menu, and the restaurant must be open year-round.
