Burgers are King at Burger Throw-Down, September 3

A curated selection of the Northwest suburb's top burger chefs will duke it out at BBC's first Burger Throw-Down, Sept. 3. From 1 to 4 p.m. outside in the biergarten, the culinary gauntlet will be thrown down when five outstanding pro burger chefs fire up their grills and compete for bragging rights to the coveted Burger Belt and cash prizes. Winners will be determined by the public and a panel of prominent judges.

Each $20 ticketholder receives samples from all five smash burger contestants as well as eligibility for giveaways and door prizes. Ice cold BCB beer will be flowing while live music on the main stage sets a vibey tone and MC Biker Dude presides over the ceremonies. Burger Throw-Down tickets can be purchased at www.buffalocreekbrewing.com.

Buffalo Creek Brewing is Lake County's only destination brewery located in the heart of downtown Long Grove (about 30 miles NW of Chicago). What makes the brewery a destination? It's not in a warehouse or an old rundown building, but instead settled in a transformed art studio on two acres of wooded land in the middle of a historic village. The state-of-the-art brewing facility features Bavarian-style beer and themed taproom, private event room, brew masters lounge, biergarten patio, and sprawling, scenic lawns with a concert stage and food truck area.

Buffalo Creek Brewing is at 360 Historical Lane, Long Grove.
