With just under 3 days left in #SteinbachBurgerDays 2024, we're curious about which local burgers you've already tasted.
18 local restaurants have created 17 signature burgers and a complimentary craft beer for this annual event by the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce that runs until Saturday, September 21, 2024.
Executive Director Tessa Masi says Steinbach Burgers Days has been great so far.
In fact, she goes one step further.
“It is fantastic! So many good reviews of amazing burgers. Make sure you try them before the end of the day on Saturday because we're wrapping up the week.”
And when you do try a Steinbach Burger Days burger, Masi encourages you to rate it on the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce website.
“Make sure that you are voting for best tasting, best presentation, and most creative. Not only do we get to then take your votes and award these amazing restaurants with awards in these categories, but when you vote at SteinbachChamber.com, you can win one of three prize packs which is $100 worth of gift cards to the restaurants.”
Masi says she has been out there participating in Steinbach Burger Days as well.
“I have tried five this week so far, I tried four previously when we got to do the tasting videos ahead of time, so I'm sitting at 9. That's pretty good, but I I've got some ground to make up before the end of the week.”
The Steinbach Chamber encourages you to use #SteinbachBurgerDays as you share your experiences on social media.
