Crowned Winner of Inaugural Beef Burger Battle

‘7-time winner of the People's Choice award at the NYC Wine & Food Festival's Burger Bash Josh Capon selected this year's winner. Capon is a restaurateur of NYC dining establishments and the co-founder of Bowery Meat Company.

"Nothing beats a beef burger, and I was looking for the recipe that elevated it to the next level," said Capon. "They all tasted great but ultimately, it came down to who's burger I would want to eat over and over again. And for me, the beef patty paired with the original flavors of Chef Choi's Korean-inspired Kimchi Bacon Jam gave her the edge."‘ Sourced from here’
