Sixth annual Newport Burger Bender contest kicks off this weekend
Posted
This weekend, bring your enthusiasm and inner food critic to the sixth annual Newport Burger Bender Contest. Dozens of chefs across Newport and Bristol counties will assemble delicious burgers in preparation for this year’s fierce competition. Dozens of unique burgers, such as The Bacon Jammie Smash Burger, Surf and Turf Burger, and Crunchy Fried Tofu Burger, will be on local menus from Feb. 17 to 26.
For those burger enthusiasts who would like a beef alternative, some restaurants will have plant-based or non-beef burgers (veggie/vegan, pork, lamb, seafood, etc.) in addition to traditional beef burgers. Winners will be named in beef and non-beef categories. The burgers with the most votes will be crowned winners (along with their chefs). Local media will also determine their “critics’ choice” winners.
“From plant-based creations filled with crunchy fried tofu, to juicy, meaty, beef burgers piled high with wagyu or lobster or a fried green tomato – there is something tantalizing for everyone’s palate this season,” said Julie Grant, Discover Newport’s Digital Marketing Manager, and the contest’s organizer.
Voting will be activated on the Discover Newport website from Feb. 17 to 26. People can also vote at participating restaurants using custom QR codes displayed for each participating burger.
