Riverwalk Trust will host the first annual Burger Battle on Friday, June 4, 2010 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Riverside Hotel Lawn, 620 E. Las Olas Blvd. The event promises to pit some of Fort Lauderdale’s top restaurants against one another as they show off their creative juices and grilling skills to 500 guests. The goal of the event is to bring together local employees, residents and businesses for a night of burgers, cocktails and fun while raising funds for the Riverwalk Trust.
Guests will enjoy bites from Capital Grille, Morton’s The Steakhouse, Pelican Landing at Pier Sixty-Six Marina, Johnny V Restaurant, Big City Tavern, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Riverside Hotel, Tarpon Bend, Timpano Chophouse & Martini Bar, Ilios at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach, Smith & Jones Bar and Grill, Stop Burgers, China Grill, Lauderdale Grill and Georgie’s Alibi.
A panel of local celebrity judges will give one lucky restaurant the title of “Best Burger in Fort Lauderdale.” Another restaurant will be chosen as the “Fan Favorite” by Burger Battle attendees. BIG 105.9 afternoon drive on-air radio personality Doc Reno will host the event.
For a $30 donation (prepaid online), or $40 at the door, attendees will receive three drink tickets to be used for any Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, Jack Daniel’s Lynchburg Lemonade, Budweiser Select or Bud Light Golden Wheat, an array of burger samples from well-known burger restaurants, a vote for their favorite burger and view a local celebrity slider eating contest.
