New Times' Burgerfest Is Looking for Miami's Best Burgers UPDATED

New Time's Burgerfest is returning for an evening of burgers, entertainment, and fun. On September 24, Miami will celebrate everyone's favorite sandwich at the ultimate summer party. This year, we're turning up the heat by crowing Miami's Favorite Burger — and we're seeking out the best in Miami to participate. New Times is looking for Miami-area chefs and restaurateurs with enough beef to back up their claim to Miami's most delicious burger.
