In what is being dubbed ‘Judgemeat Day’ the UK Burger Battle, sees 2 top burger teams go head to head, is taking place on Friday 11th March at The 2Funky Music Café on New Park Street in Leicester.
The concept is simple; 1 ticket, 2 burgers, who wins? You decide. The Judgemeat Day battle of London v Leicester will see Gone Burger (London) - who were past victors of the award (winning UK Burger Battle in Birmingham in 2015) - take on Leicester new boys The Beefer.
You have a 3 hour window in which to collect both burgers from the teams and vote. During this time there will be entertainment available with Live Bands playing and Retro Gaming. The bar will also be open with various special offers. All votes will then be counted, and a winner announced. This will be followed by a great party with top name DJs.
Tickets start from £20 + B/F and include:
• A Special Battle Burger from each team showing off the best of their Burger ability
• A Sailor Jerry Cocktail or Non-Alcoholic Alternative (Early Bird Tickets Only)
• Entertainment (Live Bands/DJs & Retro Gaming)
• Entry to the party following the battle
And if you buy 5 tickets you get a 6th free, which is great for groups of people planning to go.
Ok, so lets look at the teams that are going head to head, plus their weapons (burgers) of choice for the battle…
The Beefer - Leicester
Equipped with nothing but a passion for feeding, this team locked themselves away in their kitchen until they had created; ‘The Beefer Bun’. Since feeding just their friends no longer quenched their passion for beefing, The Beefer crew hit the streets last August to serve the masses. Bringing their own unique take on a burger. All the high quality ingrediants are locally sourced from Leicestershire. Everything is cooked from The Beefer’s own recipes. There’s a whole load of love for food right there.
The Beefer Bun: Dry Aged, Grass Fed Beef Brisket, Crunchy Straw Potatoes, Caramelised Onion Sauce, Soured Dill Mayo, Beefer FauxSlaw, Dill/Chilli Gherkins, Burnt Chilli Sauce, all in a toasted English Manchet bun, with parsnip crisps.
