Stop the digital presses! Okay, that doesn’t really work, does it? No matter, cheeseburger fans. The results are now available.
“This year’s celebration of the cheeseburger was special for the participants and the community,” said Pasadena Chamber CEO Paul Little. “Customers flocked to old favorites and new venues for some tasty fun and friendly competition. Cheeseburger Week is just plain delicious.”
You all ate a lot of cheeseburgers during Cheeseburger Week last week, either in person, or delivered.
And not only that, but 2,263 responsible citizens also voted in the online challenge for their favorites in 13 Cheeseburger categories ranging from “Favorite Place to Go For a Burger,” to “Favorite Dessert after a Burger.”
Every one of the 23 restaurants involved in Cheeseburger Week was entered in the “Favorite Restaurant for a Burger” category. Each restaurant that opened in the previous 12 months was entered in the “Favorite New Restaurant for a Burger” category. Restaurants were then able to enter themselves in three other categories in the 2022 Cheeseburger Challenge.
The results were dramatic and delicious. And they are here. We can only hope your favorite team won.
