Riverwalk Trust's First Annual Burger Battle — An Onmivore's Real Dilemma

I knew as soon as I heard about this event through Facebook, I had to be there. Any time you have top local chefs grilling up burgery goodness, you can bet I'll be lurking somewhere. There's something about a burger, the way it can be so delicious in it's simplicity, that just gets me. Often times, the less you do to a burger, the better it is. Season with salt and pepper, cook it so it is just pink, top it with some sharp cheddar and raw onions and stuff it between a doughy bun. That's all it needs.

While a number of chefs did just that, there were also a few that did unimaginable things to their burger creations such as the Deep Fried Truffle burger from The Riverside Hotel, which actually hosted the event on its lawn, as well as the unimaginable plate devised by the team at Weston's Stop Burger: A Kobe Beef Burger infused with Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and topped with a Chocolate-Jalapeno Sauce and Finlandia Swiss Cheese. Say what?

There were most definitely a few standouts. For my thoughts on that, head over to DINE magazine's website and think about the craziest thing you can do to those patties during your next burger night.
