Well, another Burger Bash is in the record books. Michael Symon was not able to win for a 4th consecutive time. He actually came in 2nd place in the People’s vote. Guy Fieri finished in 3rd and Bobby Flay won the big prize with his Green Chile Burger . Jeff (Sandwich King) Mauro was the Judge’s Choice with his “Greatest Patty Melt in the History of America”. Quality Meats won Heinz’s Best Dressed Burger. Red Robin was a sponsor this year and gave out a Red Robin Best of the Bash Award to LT Burger.

Burger Bash 2011 Entrance

We’re one week away (Friday February 22nd) from the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash.  If you’re a real Burger fan then you must make it out to this event at least once in your lifetime; as far as Burger Events go it doesn’t get any better than this. It’s been sold out for months but we finally get a look at the Burgers being served by each participant at the event. My money is on Michael Symon for a 4-Peat.

Some Local Burger Joints Make It Into SoBe Burger Bash 2013 #SoBeWFF

It’s the time of the year when all the invites go out to the local joints for next year’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival. It should be of no surprise that to me (and thousands of others as well), the Amstel Light Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray is the event to attend. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

The “Official” line up of restaurants has not been revealed but I used some of my special Burger Powers to get you a list of the some of the local folks participating. Congratulations to them and I’m looking  forward to seeing them under the giant white tent

This event is usually one of the first ones to sell out. There’s a pre-sale for Mastercard users that starts on October 8th. If you’ve got no MC then October 22nd is the date for you. Whatever you decide, if you’ve never been you really should.

Shhhh….I didn’t tell you about this by the way.

Amstel Light’s “Savor Complexity” features….Burgers!

At the 2012 SoBe Burger Bash earlier this year, Amstel Light  launched their “Savor Complexity” campaign. Amstel Light is of course a very big part of that event and the title sponsor so it makes sense they would keep their burger association going throughout the rest of the year.

The Amstel Light “Savor Complexity” poster above lists some great toppings and condiments associated with the humble burger. It concludes with the Complex Tale of the Burger:

A simple slice of pizza can be fine. A simple pasta dish can be great. But when it comes to a man’s burger, that’s a whole other meatball. Because you want that thing to tell a story. You want it to have chapters of flavor. You want its description on the menu to read like a bibliography – citing sources for each,
delectable ingredient. You don’t just want to taste the beef. You want to know
what kind of parents it had. Was it grass fed or corn fed? Was it free range or feedlot? What kind of hobbies did the cow enjoy? Every detail makes every bite that much more drippingly delicious. The burger is earth’s truest example of a single entity being greater than the sum of its parts. Because with an unbelievable burger, it’s not about simplicity. It’s ALL about complexity.

My final thoughts….It would make a great poster, don’t cha’ think?
