    The fine folks from The Blind Lady Tavern are crafting a burger (pictured up top) for you that features local grass-fed beef, packed with smoked Gouda and candied bacon, and topped with Me Maw’s BBQ Sauce, b&b pickles, jalapeños and red onions.

    Our friends from The Crest Gastropub are making an amazing short rib beef blend burger that is topped with Ray Ray’s Hog Pit burnt ends, Alabama BBQ sauce and a sweet corn relish, served on a brioche bun.

    And last but not least, Melt Bar & Grilled is whipping up a special mystery dessert for Best Bites: Burgers attendees. We’ve got no details or photos to show on this one, so you’ll just have to show up and check it out!

    All of the participating restaurants in this year’s event include: The Crest, Paddy Wagon, Bareburger, Gallerie Bar & Bistro, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, The Grand Event Center, Street Thyme Food Truck, Due Amici, Hoof Hearted Brewing, Westies Gastropub, Melt Bar & Grilled, The Point Bar & Grill, and The Blind Lady Tavern.

    Advance tickets to the event are $30 which include burger samples from each vendor, live entertainment, a cash bar featuring Modelo and a chance to vote on your favorite burgers of the night. Two ticketed times are available: 6pm-8pm or 8pm-10pm, and tickets are expected to sell out in advance.

    A portion of all ticket sales from Best Bites: Burgers will be donated to She has a Name, a local nonprofit that is committed to engaging and equipping volunteers, serving partner organizations, and providing job readiness initiatives for survivors of human trafficking. They join together declaring that survivors of trafficking have a name, a nobility, and a narrative. The Best Bites series has raised over $22,000 for local charities since 2014.

    Best Bites: Burgers is sponsored by L&E Research.
