Le Burger Week Calgary has named the city's best burgers

Sep 12 2017, 10:42 pm

The votes, are in, the count is finalized, and the burgers have most definitely been eaten; the big, juicy winners have been named for this year’s Le Burger Week.

Le Burger Week, for anyone just tuning in, is a week-long competition where restaurants create a burger that encapsulates the style, taste, and overall concept of their cuisine. That burger joins a list for would-be judges/eaters of burgers to try out and will be rated on the Le Burger Week website throughout the week.

At the end of the week, four burgers reign supreme: The “People’s Choice” (most votes), “Most Creative”, “Healthiest Burger”, and “Judges’ Choice” (decided by undercover judges throughout the country).

On Monday morning Le Burger Week Calgary announced the winners of this year’s competition, and here they are in all their glory.
