Tampa Bay is home to hundreds of food trucks & restaurants claiming to be the best and it’s time to find out. Guests must pick which food truck is their favorite and order their meals directly, and if they deem the food worthy, they can cast a single vote per person for their favorite burger chef.
The VIP Burger Judges, (That Means You!) everyone who bought a VIP Entry ticket, have the tough job of judging two burgers on a scale of 1-10. The winning chef with the best scores will receive the coveted Judges Choice - Best Burger Award.
Try one, or try them all. Your choices will be tough!
