Billings Depot Media Release

In its second of four food competitions scheduled for this summer, Magic City's Best presents the Big Sky Burger Bonanza on July 9. (Look for the Wicked Wing Fling on August 20 and the Pizza Palooza on September 10. Be sure to get your tickets early!) Held at Billings Depot, the Big Sky Burger Bonanza will feature 20 of Billings' best restaurants and chefs who will be competing live for the title of Billings' Best Burger. The chef who earns the coveted award will also receive a Golden Ticket to compete in the World Food Championships. 

The winner of the Golden Ticket will be determined by a panel of 10 judges comprised of local foodies, business owners, media, and more. 

Creativity is key at these events with chefs being challenged to be as creative and unique with their flavors as possible. The burgers might be from their current menu or something completely new, says the man in charge of the event, Sean O'Daniel. 

Here are just some of the participants you'll see at the Burger Bonanza: Hilands Golf Club, Diamond X, Cork & Barrel, Copper Onion, Marble Table, Bearded Bulldog, Tastes So Good food truck, Hungry House food truck, and Yum Seeley.
