On Thursday, April 21, guests sampled burger creations from several local restaurants at our annual Battle of the Burger Competition.
Both a panel of judges (Kyle DiMeola, Phil Worthey, Janna Sullivan, Michelle Carilli, and Dan Burkard) and the festive crowd voted for their favorite burger from participating restaurants including M.L. Rose Craft Beer & Burgers, Hoss' Loaded Burgers, The Mockingbird, Saint Stephen, AVO, Harth Green Hills, Pastaria, The Electric Jane, Slide Hustle, and Lauter!
While munching on patties and sipping cocktails courtesy of Bacardi Rum and Cazadores Tequila, guests listened to tunes from dynamic DJ MANRELIC and made photo booth memories with Nashville Smile Bar.
