America’s Ultimate Cheeseburger Contest

I love grilling out in the summer.  Between not heating up the kitchen (any more than it already is) and the minimal clean up, it seems like the perfect way to cook on a hot night.  Because of this, our grill gets a LOT of use each summer. (Truth be told, we actually grill out all year long – just a little more in the summer.)


For us, the ultimate cookout foods are definitely hamburgers.  You’ve got to  love a food you can pick up and eat, that you can customize with different toppings, and that tastes great!  Being from Wisconsin, in our house a plain old hamburger just won’t cut it unless it is topped with cheese (which I guess would make it a cheeseburger!!).


Turns out, we are not alone in our love for cheeseburgers.  Nine in ten (92 percent) burger-eaters like cheese on their patties and  82% of Americans agree that cheese makes a burger taste better.  To celebrate all things cheeseburger, Sargento cheese created the America’s Ultimate Cheeseburger contest and asked chefs in Milwaukee, Chicago, Miami, San Diego and New York to create a cheeseburger featuring Sargento Natural Sliced Cheeses to 
showcase their city or state’s famous culinary flair!  


Cities and restaurant participating are: 

Personally, I think Milwaukee is the odds on favorite to win!! After all, Sobelman’s DID compete in the Travel Channel’s FOOD WARS best burger contest!!


But Milwaukee and Sobelman’s still needs YOUR vote! Pop over to the Sargento Facebook page and cast a vote for our great city!  Why not get really involved and even submit your own cheeseburger creation for a chance to be featured on Sargento’s Facebook wall. (I’m off to create a signature Fitzgerald burger myself – should I share the recipe with you guys once it’s perfected???)


I received products and compensation from Sargento Foods Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in this campaign. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own.
