Everything ran quite smoothly at the Heineken Burger Bash! I was lucky enough to be chosen by Yelp to receive two tickets! I picked them up from Blue at the Funky Buddha, the Sunday before the event. I was really thrilled to attend with my wife, Diane as my plus one. On the day of the Burger Bash, I dropped Diane off at the venue and found a great parking spot a few blocks away. I waited in line for a short period of time and then the fun began!! There were so many booths offering free scrumptious burgers, I didn't know where to start. So, I started with the booths with the shortest lines. Every burger I had was fantastic. My personal favorite was the Cuban Guys stand. Just superb with fries on the side. I had more burgers than anyone should eat. I didn't eat too many of the buns, so I wouldn't fill right up. The Burger Bash got crowded as the event went on, but it wasn't at all uncomfortable. Rachel Ray, the famous chef, spoke in front of the crowd about how it was her 19th Burger Bash. She was very enjoyable. Heineken had booths where they served various beers to wash down the burgers. Oddly, they didn't offer Heineken Light. Instead, they had Amstel Light which was delicious. All in all, I had a great time at the Burger Bash. Thank you so much, Yelp, for the tickets. It was a spectacular event.
So many people that I know say that Burger Bash is the best event ever. They look forward to going every year. This event is one of the first to sell out. At $250 a ticket it had to be great. I was so excited when Clyde won two tickets from Yelp. I think there was over forty chefs cooking up their best burgers. Besides feeding the hungry crowd the chefs were in a contest to be awarded for the best burger. We got to vote for our favorite by putting a coin in a jar at our favorite chefs table. There was also a panel of judges who would help decide the winner. Chefs were already cooking when the gates opened. The aroma of hamburgers was everywhere. Several booths were set up outside, but most were inside a large white tent. There was booths set up on both sides of the tent. The middle was mostly set up with drinks. Heineken had a large presence. They were very busy. There was tables with cans of wine. Another large both had champagne. Tito Vodka had several stations serving delicious vodka cocktails. A few of the tables had long lines, but most were short. Clyde and I had a plan. We skipped the long lines and checked them again later. We shared the burgers and sides. Some of the burgers where served whole, others were smaller pieces. There was beef, pork, veggie, vegan, and more. Lots of hamburgers had a side, mostly potatoes. Rachael Ray was the celebrity host. About half way through the event she went onto the stage where she was introduced. I wanted to get a few pictures of her but there was so many people in front of the stage that it was impossible to get a good picture. The audience seemed to love her. She spoke for a few minutes. I was surprised she wasn't there longer. I don't know if she came back to the stage during the event. Tables and chairs were set up at various places. It was nice to take a break between burgers. Needless to say I ate too much. Everything was so good.
This was my 2nd time attending Burger Bash and it just keeps getting better. Thanks to Yelp Miami and Ft Lauderdale, I was lucky enough to win a pair of general admission tickets worth $250 each. Sweet! We arrived at 7pm and there was already a line. They let in the "Preview" ticket holders first then 30 minutes later it was our turn. It rained a little bit while we were waiting but that didn't discourage us because we starved ourselves the whole day just to devour as much burgers as we can :) The venue was very organized and a vendor map was available on the main SOBEWFF website. We just basically started counterclockwise and hit up the vendors with the most enticing burgers. And trust, there were plenty! We got to try 109 Burger Joint, Sakaya Kitchen, Little Donkey, Fooqs, Cool Smoke BBQ and Le Chick just to name a few. We got so full so quick that we didn't even get to try to the vendors on the right side. But we were soldiers so we made sure to stop by at the famous Morimoto to try his signature Asian inspired burger. My God! That sauce and the juicy beef were on point! Titos was also there providing some Moscow mules and lemonade cocktails and of course, Heineken was just flowing everywhere. The entertainment was great as well especially when Neil Patrick Harris and his hubby came out to greet the audience. We also liked the cover band that was playing. They sang some classic rock, pop, and Latin music too. The DJ stage near the entrance was also good. The DJ kept the energy level high and he got the crowd dancing. Burger Bash was such a fun and filling event as expected. No matter how many days we fasted before the event, we still ended up in a food coma when we left...lol :) The only thing I didn't like was some people were just deliberately cutting in line and they pretended they didn't know. Really? Otherwise, this event is a must during SOBEWFF.
This was my first time to Burger Bash and I had high expectations, and they were absolutely met! I had always heard great things from friends from the past years. Literally it's burgers on burgers on burgers and they are bomb burgers. There is also Heineken everywhere and wine stands as well. Burgers, beer and wine, amazing! I loved Papi Steak's burger, the bun was amazing, it was a pretzel type bun. Pig Beach, I am pumped they are coming to West Palm Beach, just a classic delicious burger. Even Red Robin had a fancy delicious burger. Some burgers would come with sides and then there was some dessert stands. Milkshakes, and I was able to try out this new dessert type ice cream from Salt & Straw! Can't wait to check out their storefront here in Miami. $250 a pop for a ticket is pricey, but hey, that's the life and to be honest it's all about the experience. They have an entertainment stage, a DJ, photo booths, sitting areas, you name it. You get a chip in the beginning as well and you get to drop it at your favorite spot and then they announce the winner. You may be lucky and run into Rev Run or Rachael Ray, you never know! Heineken Burger Bash, I'll be back next year!

This was my first Burger bash experience. I was really excited to go and the event was a lot of fun. There were so many burgers and I had to Pace myself and figure out which ones were worth trying. Several of them had guava on them. I guess this is the new trend. It was fun and interesting to try Burgers from all over the country. A burger from New York won. The name I of the restaurant is The Butter Restaurant. I tried this burger and enjoyed it. I do wish there were more fries. There were a few restaurants that gave some fries. There were some great cookies from Owl Cookies. I also tried a delicious ice cream sandwich from Portland, Oregon. They offered canned wine from a brand I've never heard of. It is called Merf Wines. Their red wine is actually really good. The lines got long at some places but the lines were pretty manageable overall. This was a very fun event and we appreciated Yelp for choosing my daughter as a winner. read more
I managed to bag two tickets for this Burger bash event for my husband and I. This event is supreme, I have nothing bad to say about it apart from the price for one ticket is 250 plus and in pure Miami style I think this is outrageous. Even if you stuff your face with food n booze to the max it cannot justify a price tag this hefty! Having said that the other events offered a wonderful experience to sample most unusual burger concoctions. I tried guava aoili on a burger, serano ham on a burger, fois gras on a burger, bone marrow in a burger. And the list goes on. Where else can you spend a cool three hrs with the amazing beach back drop, cool DJs, live bands, the grill smoke and smell, taste buds explosion...why here of course! I only felt sorry for anyone in the vicinity that had to endure a watering mouth from tj delicious grill wafts that did not have the leasure or opportunity to attend. read more

I went as part of Yelp Elite so if this isnt the place to go post someone please direct me This was my first time going to the food and wine festival in miami and it was great! Granted I'd give the drive 0/10 but it was worth it once we got there. The first thing we had was the great milkshake and then we headed over to the Cuban Guys, a great burger to start out with! Then Papi Steak it tasted almost like churrasco very good! Then and honestly this was my favorite part the Ave Maria cookies from Night Owl cookies, I need to go to their store an amazing cookie. We had a Titos cocktail, I had a Moscow mule. It was pretty good. Tried the pizza and burger. Very good as well I liked the chips it came with had to go get some Mojo donuts for sure! Great as usual! The two best burgers for me was the Rev Run old school cheese as I love a simple burger with just cheese don't have to get crazy (though the chips I believe were just ruffles and dip) and then Butter Restaurants Bone Marrow burger was so moist wow it was delicious! Lastly we are at Salt and Straw and had a liquid cheesecake quava ice cream sandwich. It had bread which wasn't great but the icecream and quava together was great. This was such a great and fun event and I feel so lucky that I was able to go and enjoy something like this! I wish I could have tried more food but wow it's so much! Thank you Yelp for this opportunity! read more
