Cribb’s Kitchen on Main will host its third annual Burger Cook Off from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday beside the clock tower in downtown Spartanburg.
Proceeds will benefit the Children’s Security Blanket, a local nonprofit that provides support for the families of children with cancer.
Taylor Correll-Greer, event coordinator and the front of house manager for Cribb’s, said he hopes the cook-off will raise more than $15,000 for the group.
