Organized by the Carman Chamber of Commerce, the annual event encourages residents and visitors to explore local dining while sampling unique menu creations and supporting small businesses.
This year’s lineup offers a mix of classic comfort food and inventive twists.
Scotswood Links is serving “The Crispy Porky Putter Burger,” a crispy pork cutlet topped with salsa, mozzarella, banana peppers, red onions, lettuce, tomato and chipotle sauce on a ciabatta bun.
Syl’s is offering “The Poutine Burger,” combining a beef patty with mozzarella cheese, fries and gravy — all stacked on a bun.
At Carman Golf and Curling Club, “The California Dreaming Burger” features a three-ounce beef patty (single or double) topped with fried onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and the club’s signature sauce on a toasted bun.
Boyne River Bistro is pushing the boundaries with its “Barn Yard PB & J Burger,” built with a Wagyu beef smash patty, crispy chicken burger, bacon, Swiss and cheddar cheese, finished with a sweet and savoury peanut butter and jelly sauce.
Meanwhile, Chicken Chef is serving a “Jalapeño Popper Burger,” pairing a grilled jalapeño popper patty — made with cream cheese, bacon, pickled jalapeños and cheddar — with a beef patty, cheddar cheese, pickles and homemade burger sauce.
Voting opens at noon on May 4, giving diners the chance to choose their favourite after working their way through the lineup.
Residents are encouraged to make a plan with family, friends or coworkers, try as many burgers as possible and take part in the community-wide celebration of local food.
