Cribbs Kitchen Burger Cook-Off
May 2, 2026 | Noon until burgers run out
Come hungry. Bring your friends and family. Cast your vote. Support Upstate children battling cancer.
Get ready for one of the Upstate’s most anticipated food and community events!
Join us May 2, 2026, at the corner of W. Main Street & Daniel Morgan Avenue, starting at noon (until burgers run out).
This is a high-energy, family-friendly competition where local chefs and grill masters compete, and the community shows up to vote and support Upstate children battling cancer.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Ultimate Burger Competition
Local chefs and grill masters go head‑to‑head to create the ultimate burger. A panel of judges will award Judges’ Choice, while attendees cast their votes for the coveted People’s Choice Award. The Judges’ Choice winner earns a spot on the Cribbs Kitchen menu for at least a year (bragging rights included). The 2025 winner of the Judges' Choice was Boyos Burgers; their winning burger will be on the Cribbs Kitchen menu for at least the next year. The 2025 People's Choice Award winner was Grille 221.
Live Music & Family Fun
Enjoy live music from Echo and The Revival, plus games, face painting, and other activities for all ages. Come for the burgers, stay for the music, and bring friends and family. Whether you’re a foodie, a music lover, or making it a family afternoon, you’ll have plenty to do while you eat and vote.
In 2025, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Cribbs Kitchen Burger Cook-Off, which was our biggest year yet, raising $151,445.60 for Upstate children battling cancer.
