What is Cribbs Kitchen Burger Cook-Off?

Thank you for joining us for our biggest Cribbs Kitchen Burger Cook-Off yet! This event was our 10th anniversary and we raised $151,445.60 for Upstate children battling cancer. We brought together local chefs, grilling enthusiasts, and community members in a friendly competition to create the ultimate burger, all while supporting children battling cancer.

The event featured a judging panel to evaluate each burger based on taste. The winner of the Judges' Choice was Boyos Burgers; their winning burger will be on the Cribbs Kitchen menu for at least the next year. Attendees voted for the People's Choice Award and this year's winner was Grille 221. All the fun happens each year at the corner of W. Main Street and Daniel Morgan Avenue, starting at noon and going until the burgers run out!

Beyond the tasty delights, the Cribbs Kitchen Burger Cook-Off is a day filled with family-friendly entertainment. From live music by Back9 and games to face painting and other activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Proceeds from the Cribbs Kitchen Burger Cook-Off go directly to children battling cancer. The funds raised contribute to crucial programs, including financial assistance for medical expenses, emotional support services, and resources for families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer.
