Battle of the Burger 2022

Boston Magazine

Boston’s biggest burger battle is about to go down at the Encore Boston Harbor, and if you consider yourself a connoisseur you will not want to miss it. Ultimate bragging rights are at stake on Sunday, September 11th from 12:00 to 4:00pm as the 20 finalists of the months-long competition finally face off to see who will win Boston Magazine’s Battle of the Burger 2022. Who has the award-winning patty? Will it be the Wagu Sliders with American cheese, spicy aioli, jalapeno relish, house pickle and fluffy bao bun from chef ​​Brayan Ramirez at Fat Baby? Maybe it will be The Lincoln Burger made with Wagyu beef, bacon aioli, sunny-side up quail egg, muenster cheese and a house made bun from chefs Nick Dixon and John Ross at Southie’s Lincoln Tavern. It could also be Monument’s stunning Smash Burger from chef Conor Seip with two prime beef patties, American cheese, special sauce, Grillo’s pickles, lettuce, tomato, shaved red onion, and griddled potato bun, or the classy Oak Burger from chef Zaid Khan at OAK Long Bar + Kitchen with Smoked bacon, bibb lettuce, red onion jam, sharp Vermont cheddar and aioli.

The only way to know for sure which handheld is the best of the best is to show up and eat them all, so grab an early access ticket now for $110, which includes all the burgers you can eat, and three full-size drink tickets, plus you can waltz in an hour early before the rest of the crowds; or go for a general admission ticket to get in later for $85, which also includes three drinks and all the food you can eat. Advance tickets are available up until September 11th; some tickets will be available at the door on the day-of for an increased price depending on capacity. The battle takes place on the South Lawn of the hotel, or on the covered balcony and indoor ballroom if it rains. For more info check out the official Battle website or follow Boston Magazine on socials (Insta and FB), and pick out some loose-fitting clothes now because there’s going to be a lot of meat to be eaten!
