National Burger Awards finalists announced
Restaurant brands are among the 16 finalists (pictured below) who have been chosen to compete in the 2021 National Burger Awards.
The event, which is in its seventh year, will see chefs from the restaurant, pub and street food sectors battle it out to see if their burger has what it takes to be judged as the best in the UK.
High street favourites, such as MEATliquor and Shake Shack, will take on chefs from independent businesses like Dalston’s Filthy Buns and Glasgow’s El Perro Negro, which won the National Burger Awards in 2019.
The live cook-off will be held on 28 September 2021 at London Shenley Club and will be overseen by a panel of industry judges. On the day, chefs will also face technical challenges using specific products for the chance to win other coveted titles including Burger Chef of the Year.
“This year’s National Burger Awards is definitely the most exciting instalment yet,” says Rosanna Spence, editor of Dine Out magazine, which organises the event. “We have four former champions coming back to defend their titles, as well as a number of other previous finalists and category winners returning. Our 2021 line-up is brimming with burgers worth worshipping – it’s time our finalists have a reason to celebrate and enjoy the boost the National Burger Awards will bring to their businesses.”
