Winners of all seven competitions head to the Final Table for a shot at the title of World Food Champion.

The World Burger Championship is set for Friday, Nov. 2.

"We have a great opportunity to bring home the World’s Best Burger title,” Mark Bucher, BGR founder, told QSR. “We will be entering our Wellington Burger, which has received critical praise all across the United States, and we know once the judges try it, we will be hard to beat.”

BGR was selected as one of the "wild card" competitors, and will face off against the winners of food competitions across the country. The burger champion will receive $10,000 and the World Food Champion will take home $50,000.
