During the month of August, participating restaurants have been selling their signature burgers to benefit Utahns Against Hunger. The BEST BURGER will be announced in the 1st Annual Burger Beatdown Bonanza along with the best drink pairing. Entrance to the event is $20, with that comes a menu burger of your choice, a drink and entrance to listen to the Joe McQueen Quartet.
Proceeds from this event will benefit Utahns Against Hunger, whose work increases access to food for low-income Utahns.
Come join the fun as seven restaurants vie for bragging rights in The Garage.
