The Wisconsin Beef Council (WBC) has announced the kickoff of the 2nd Annual Wisconsin’s Best Burger Contest.
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 when burger hunger strikes, and this is the opportunity to recognize those restaurants that work hard to create those delicious memories.
Last year’s contest sparked a burger frenzy across the state, with the Elite Eight finalists enjoying a surge in burger sales and statewide fame.
Starting Friday, Feb. 21, through midnight on Friday, March 21, you can nominate your favorite beef burger from any Wisconsin restaurant (one nomination per person) on the Wisconsin Beef Council website at beeftips.com/bestburger.
Restaurants can also find marketing resources on the website to help promote the contest to their patrons.
As a customer, please notify the restaurant owners/managers about the contest so they can promote it in-house.
In early April, 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 these top contenders. Burgers will be judged on taste (50 points), appearance (30 points), proper doneness (10 points), overall enjoyment (10 points), with bonus points for the eating environment, atmosphere and experience (up to 5 points).
The grand winner will be announced on May 1 to kick off May Beef Month.
• The burger must be 100% beef (other ingredients may be added to the patty such as spices, vegetables, etc.)
• All burgers must be composed of a formed ground beef patty/patties served on a bun or other bread product (such as biscuits, focaccia or tortillas). Burgers may include any combination of condiments (such as ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard), sauces (such as barbeque or hot sauce), cheeses and toppings (such as bacon, onions, tomatoes and lettuce). Every component of the burger must be placed between the bun or bread pieces or served open-faced on a bread product.
• Burgers must be available on the nominated restaurant’s regular menu, and the restaurant must be open year-round.
A restaurant may only win Wisconsin’s Best Burger Contest one time.
