May is National Hamburger Month. And that means it's time for the annual Georgie Porgie's Burger Contest.
But this year's affair will be just a little different. Due to labor challenges and rising food costs, the local burger brand has made the decision to scale back their annual National Burger Month burger contest.
But they’re still letting burger fans get in on the fun.
They’ve brought back three of their favorite tasty entries from years past and are putting them up for a vote. The burger that gets the most votes by the end of the day on May 28 will be the featured burger during the entire month of June.
So, what are you waiting for? Read the descriptions, allow your moutth to water a bit and then cast a vote for your favorite (voting link is below).
