Time to submit nominations for state’s best burger

Arkansas burger lovers, it’s time to cast your vote. The Arkansas Beef Council is calling for nominations for the state’s best burger, and you’ve got until April 30 to make your voice heard. This annual contest is a chance to spotlight the local restaurants that bring their A-game to crafting delicious 100% beef burgers.

Participating in the nomination process is simple. You can submit your favorite burger once per day using your email address at arkansasbeef.org. Whether it’s the smoky grilled flavor that keeps you coming back or the creative toppings that make your taste buds dance, now’s your chance to give your go-to burger joint the recognition it deserves.

For families looking to turn this nomination period into a fun outing, why not make it a weekend adventure? Gather the kids, hop in the car, and embark on a quest to find your favorite burger in Northwest Arkansas. From Bentonville’s bustling food scene to the hidden gems in Rogers, there’s no shortage of contenders worthy of your vote.

Picture this: a sunny Saturday spent exploring local eateries, the aroma of sizzling beef wafting through the air. Maybe you’ll start at a classic diner where the patties are thick and juicy, or perhaps a trendy spot known for its gourmet creations. As you and your family pull up to each stop, the excitement builds — who will be crowned NWA’s best?

Make a day of it by bringing along some wet wipes for sticky fingers and a bottle of water to cleanse the palate between tastings. And don’t forget to jot down the names and addresses of your favorite stops, so you can revisit them long after the contest ends.

The Arkansas’ Best Burger Contest isn’t just about celebrating great food; it’s a testament to the local businesses that pour their heart and soul into every bite. Many of these restaurants are small operations, often family-run, and they thrive on community support. By nominating your favorite, you’re also championing the local economy and helping these businesses gain the recognition they deserve.

So, as April winds down, consider setting aside a day or two to explore the burger offerings across NWA. It’s not just about finding the best burger — it’s about creating a memory with your family. After all, few things bring people together like a shared meal.
