Delaware Burger Battle 2024

Let's turn it up to 11! Delaware Burger Battle -- a charity food fundraiser, founded in 2012.

SELLS OUT every year because...

On the best day of the year, Delaware's competitive chefs compete for trophies and glory, while you fill your belly, place your vote and raise money for charity.

Thanks to you, and your iron stomachs, for making us one of your favorite annual foodie events! More than 29,000 burgers served since inception, and $112,000+ raised from Delaware Food Battles.

WHO COMPETES:

Delaware's competitive chefs compete for 3 trophies.

CAST YOUR VOTE:

Each restaurant will put its best burger forward for your judgment. Your votes will determine the People's Choice Winner. Sorry for the meat sweats, but we know you'll want to try every burger before casting your votes.

GUESTS PAY ONE PRICE:

Once you enter the arena, you're free to go from booth to booth sampling burgers from all the participating restaurants. Try one. Try them all. (Most people can’t complete the circuit, and no, that’s not a challenge. We recommend a buddy system, and pre-Battle conditioning.)

Your ticket also entitles you to adult beverages. Soft drinks are included. This is a rain or shine event, as well as all ages. (No pets, please; for their safety and your relaxation.) Neighborhood and park parking are plentiful, with easy access for guests with physical limitations.

This is an all-volunteer run event with 100% of proceeds donated to charity. Beneficiaries for 2024 are Food Bank of Delaware and Delaware Restaurant Foundation (which manages Delaware ProStart).

NOTE: we have a no refund policy; however, if we have a wait list, we will do our best to help you regain the value of your tickets (minus fees), or find another way to ensure you enjoy a future Battle. (PLEASE: no special requests after 8/21.)
