It was burgers galore last night at Scottsdale Stadium and although there wasn’t a huge turnout for the Scottsdale Culinary Festival’s very first Burger Battle it was a really fun (and filling) experience and the folks that did shell out the $55 for a ticket got their money’s worth.
Zinburger, Modern Burger, LGO, Chelsea’s Kitchen, The Capital Grille, RnR, El Hefe, Lenny’s, Bueno Burger, Indulge, Old Town Whiskey, Bourbon Steak, and Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers all brought their best burgers out to compete for the title of “Best Burger”. (More on that later.)
Brioche buns, thick cut tomatoes, and butter lettuce were aplenty and the alluring smell of Kobe beef (or the U.S. equivalent, anyway) cooking on the hot grills filled the cool night air as burger lovers made their way from tent to tent indulging in more bites of burgers than any sane person should ever eat in one evening while listening to live music from The Walken and drinking beers from an event sponsor, Leinenkugels.
