This fifth annual Burger Battle returns to the beautiful grounds of the Cauffiel House overlooking the Delaware River on Saturday, Aug. 27, the last Saturday before Labor Day weekend.
Delaware’s most competitive chefs will put their best burgers forward, offering guests samples as they compete for fame and glory in three categories: Critic’s Choice, Alternative Burger and People’s Choice.
Once again, money raised at the all-volunteer-run Delaware Burger Battle will benefit Ministry of Caring’s Emmanuel Dining Room, which meets the immediate needs of Wilmington’s hungry with more than 180,000 nutritious meals served annually at no cost and with no questions asked. The Delaware Burger Battle raised more than $28,000 in its first four years.
In recent years, national media including MSN’s Business Insider and Thrillist.com have recognized the winners of the Delaware Burger Battle as the state’s best burger.
A list of restaurants will be released in coming weeks. Any restaurant interested in entering the Burger Battle Arena can contact JulieAnne Cross at wilmonites@gmail.com.
