Can You Create a $100,000 Burger? You Have Five Days Left!
Sutter Home’s search for the best burger in America in the Sutter Home “Build a Better Burger” recipe contest is almost closed for entries. On Monday September 2nd, 2013, all recipes must be locked in. What better way to spend your Labor Day weekend than to create a winning burger?!
So, muster up your culinary mojo and mastermind the perfect patty. Don’t skimp on ingredients because you will be judged on creativity, taste, and visual appeal. Sutter Home will select 10 lucky entrants as “Cook-Off Finalists” in early January 2014. The finalists will receive an all-expenses-paid trip/stay in the Napa Valley for four days for the cook-off. At the event, the finalists will prepare their recipes and the burgers will be tasted and scored by a panel of judges comprised of notable chefs and culinary professionals who will decide the ultimate winners.
