CALLING ALL LOCAL BUSINESSES! Have a burger idea that deserves the spotlight? A secret recipe? A wild combination that people need to try? Now’s your chance to step up, get creative, and compete for those burger bragging rights!

The 2027 Burger Battle runs January 15 through February 28, 2027, and we want to make this the biggest, boldest, and tastiest battle yet!

And to our friends in Aberdeen and the surrounding communities, start getting those taste buds ready! It’s time to show our local restaurants some love, try something new, and help decide who deserves the ultimate bragging rights.

Now we have a question for YOU...

What kind of burger would you enter into the battle?

Bacon piled sky-high? Sweet and spicy? Loaded with cheese? Something completely unexpected? We want to hear your most creative, outrageous, and downright delicious ideas!

Tag a local business you want to see participate, and drop your burger ideas in the comments. You never know who might be watching and get inspired!

Let’s make 2027 a battle worth biting into!

Looks like Burger Battle made its way to Lincoln Elementary! 🍔🎨 The 1st grade art class held their very own Burger Battle and created some pretty impressive (and tall!) burger masterpieces.

Thank you, Mrs Kaan, for sharing!
