The 13th Annual Boca Burger Battle returns to Sanborn Square Park in Boca Raton this Saturday, July 11, with Yard House, Lazy Dog, and DRIFT Bar among the restaurants competing for the event's Golden Burger Trophy.
The Boca Burger Battle — billed on the event's Instagram as "South Florida's biggest burger showdown" — operates on two parallel competition tracks. A judges' panel determines the Golden Burger Trophy winner while attending guests cast separate ballots for the People's Choice Award. General admission includes unlimited burger tastings from all participating restaurants, with live entertainment running throughout the evening.
Yard House, Lazy Dog, and DRIFT Bar are confirmed in the field. Organizers describe the competitor pool as drawing from "some of the region's top restaurants" and indicate that additional local operators will compete; the full roster had not been publicly released as of this writing.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Children's Giving Foundation, which supports children and families throughout South Florida, per the organizers' Instagram account.
