August might be a slow time for a lot of things, but from the J-POP Summit to the SF Street Festival to Eat Drink SF, you can gorge yourself every weekend all month. (Compare that to, say, the mass closure of everything tasty in Paris during the month of
août.)
That still leaves one empty weekend, though, so if you like to eat burger and haven’t yet made plans for Sunday, Aug. 30, consider
Burger Battle: Gourmet Burgers & Craft Beers at
The Hall on Market St.
The first round of a three-round burger war among the
Whole Beast, Wesburger, and
Burger, it’s one of those events where the audience and not a panel of burger experts on a dais determines the winner. Tickets are $45, for which you get tastes of three burgers plus two beers, and 15 percent of the door goes to
Bay Leaf Kitchen to support local farmers.
It may not be Eurasia versus Eastasia versus Oceania, but winning Best Burger in a town that Bon Appetit just crowned the greatest foodie city in the U.S.? Damn, the competition for this one will be tight.
Burger Battle: Gourmet Burgers & Craft Beers,
Sunday, Aug. 30, 4 p.m., at the Hall, 1028 Market.
