ABERDEEN, S.D.(Press Release)- Starting April 1, 2023, the first Inaugural Aberdeen Burger Battle will take place through the month of April until a burger champion has been crowned by YOU, the voters!

Participating restaurants across Aberdeen will showcase their unique take on the classic burger. While there can only be one Best Burger, our restaurants are all charitable champions. Each business in the Aberdeen Burger Battle has pledged to ‘Take a Bite Out of Hunger’ with a charitable donation of at least $250 to the Aberdeen Salvation Army to help aid with local food insecurity.

Join us in savoring each mouth-watering burger and cast your vote anytime in the month of April to help us crown the ultimate Burger Battle champion at the end of the month!

As an official Burger Judge (yes, that’s you!), you’ll have the chance to rate each featured burger based on three different categories, with a rating from 1 – 10. The burger with the highest overall average score at the end of the battle will be declared the winner and awarded with undeniable bragging rights and a glorious Burger Trophy!

The categories include:

• Presentation– Whether you’re at a dive bar or having fancy fine dining, a burger that tastes good usually looks good, too. Is this burger a work of art, or could it use a little love? #ABB2023 #allburgersarebeautiful
• Taste– Does the sauce have the perfect zest or kick? Is the patty tastier than your wildest burger dreams? Flavor means everything in a good burger.
• Toppings– Is there a notably satisfying crunch of greens? Luxuriously fluffy bites of bun? Gooey, cheesy goodness? Balance is key!

Take a Bite Out of Hunger, the driving mission behind the Aberdeen Burger Battle, was formed to raise awareness of food insecurity in the community of Aberdeen. 100% of participating restaurant donations of $250+ will go straight to Aberdeen Salvation Army. Our generous Sponsors have donated almost all of our needed marketing funds, print materials, and web space, so the remainder of any Sponsorship funding will also be donated to the Aberdeen Salvation Army! As a burger voter, you can also donate directly to the Salvation Army by visiting: https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/give/164006/#!/donation/checkout.

Don’t miss out on this exciting chance to place your vote and have your voice heard in the crowning of the Aberdeen Burger Battle Champion! Be sure to watch for daily updates, prize giveaways and more on the Aberdeen Burger Battle Facebook Page! May the best burger win!
