(Undated) Iowa s annual Best Burger contest is underway. The Iowa Beef Industry Council s accepting nominations until March 15th.
To qualify to be named Iowa’s Best Burger, the burger must be a 100% real beef patty and served on a bun or bread product. The 2021 Best Burger will be announced in May, the kick-off of May Beef Month in Iowa.
Restaurants getting the most nominations will be visited by a secret panel of judges, who will determine the ultimate winner.
The Iowa Restaurant Association s Stacey Kleusner says the contest is not only a way to celebrate the product Iowa s beef producers bring to market, it also draws business to restaurants- which have a very tough time during the pandemic.
