BEST SPECIALTY BURGER WINNERS!
During the month of April, Vicinity Magazine readers voted for in the Best Specialty Burger contest. There were nine burgers nominated and the contest had a fantastic voting response.
The first place burger was awarded to Sorriso Kitchen with their Sorisso Waffle Brunch Burger. The burger is an 8 oz. short rib/brisket blend beef burger that sits on a freshly made buttermilk waffle with caramelized onions, house-made bacon jam and American Cheese. The burger is served with a choice of sweet potato fries or Sorriso seasoned fries. It’s like breakfast, lunch and dinner all at once!
Restaurant Serenade won second place with their Restaurant Serenade Cheeseburger, and third place went to Chatham River Grille for their Big Boy Burger. Congratulations to all the winners!
