Fifth Annual Downtown Burger Battle in Sioux Falls features six contenders

SIOUX FALLS — Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. presents the fifth annual Downtown Burger Battle promotion, which kicked off on Jan. 2 and continues through Jan. 31. Downtown Burger Battle is sponsored by the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Foundation.

Six downtown restaurants will compete in this year’s battle with a specialty burger, which the public can order and rate in five different categories: patty, toppings, bun, presentation, and customer service.

Past Burger Battle winners include: JL Beers “Humpty Dumpty” (2014) and Skelly’s Pub “Truffled Leek and Creamy Blue Cheese Burger” (2015). The Market remains the defending champion, winning two years in a row with “Market Charcuterie Burger” (2016) and “White Buffalo” (2017).

This year’s contenders include:

• JL Beers.

• PAve.

• ODE to Food & Drinks.

• The Market.

• Tommy Jack’s Pub.

• Wiley’s Tavern.

Entry into a prize drawing will be awarded each time customers turn in their rate card for a featured burger at any of the six participating restaurants. The prize is a gift card to all six restaurants, and the drawing will be held at the conclusion of the promotion.

Customers can enter to win one restaurant gift card in weekly drawings by posting a photo of a featured burger to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram by tagging the restaurant name and #BurgerBattle18.
