The votes were tallied up at the end of Cashiers Burger Week (staged at restaurants in southern Jackson county from April 26 through May 4) and there were a pair of clear winners – Favorite Burger – Slopeside Tavern; and Most Creative Burger – Whiteside Brewing Company.
I think everyone relished the whoppertunity to sample all the marvelous hamburgers on offer around the area. Participating restaurants crafted unique, limited-time burgers, each priced at an enticing $10. These specialty burgers were offered à la carte, with sides and beverages available for an additional cost. This event provided a fantastic opportunity to explore the diverse culinary talents within the Cashiers area, as chefs put their creative spins on classic and innovative burger recipes.
Diners utilized a Burger Week Passport, which guided them to the participating restaurants and gave them space to record their burger adventures.
As they savored each burger, they got their passport stamped at every location. Collecting stamps tracked their culinary journey and qualified you to vote for the “Best Burger” and “Most Creative Burger” awards. To be eligible for prize drawings, they had to visit at least three participating restaurants. Visiting five or more establishments earned them a bonus entry, increasing their chances of winning prizes from local sponsors and restaurants.
Burger Week was sponsored by the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce. We thank all the restaurants who participated and the voters, who dug into the competition with a carnivore’s delight.
