Okay folks, it is officially time to get excited. We are very proud to announce that we are hosting the second annual Le Burger Week competition in Winnipeg this September! As an added bonus, we are very happy to have Half Pints Brewery as an official sponsor this year so make sure you have a couple wobbly pops while you try all of those delectable burger creations. For those of you who don’t know, Le Burger Week is a week long culinary competition amongst 30+ restaurants in the city who each strive to be crowned the burger champion. Each chef creates a signature burger that is sold in their restaurant from September 1st-7th. Your job is to go and eat as many as you can throughout the week and vote for your favourites and yes, this is the most delicious job ever created in the history of the universe. To keep updated on who is participating and all the happenings all you have to do is visit us here, like our page on Facebook, follow us on Instagram, check out our twitter feed or visit Le Burger Week. After that the only thing left to do is bask is the glory that is Le Burger Week and finally have an excuse to eat as many burgers in a week as is humanly possible. Here are a few entry’s from this years event, however you will have to wait until September to get your hands on them but we can tell you right now it will be well worth it.
