The Bada Bing Burger - 2011 Grand Champion
Each year, at the end of it, I think, wow, how many people did we have? Did everyone have a good time? What happened throughout the day that I missed? And a million other thoughts.  Then, about a month or so later, I get the pictures from Shane. I am more impressed each year with how cool the contestants are, how many smiles the spectators are wearing, and how incredible the volunteers and staff are. So thank you to you all! The event belongs to you,  because without you, there would be no event. In the next few months, I will start laying the ground work for 2012. Let me know what you want!

A little bit of history

In 2009, the Big Bad Burger Contest was born. The brainchild of Selina Meehleib and Jason Roach, the Big Bad Burger Contest is a cooking contest that benefits local charities. Each year the event is held locally, all proceeds benefit a local charity. Spectators come and try all the various burger cooked by contestants. Spectators vote on their favorites. Those votes are averaged with the score earned by the judging panel to determine the Grand Champion, winner of bragging rights and $1000 in cold hard CASH!
