Happy Thursday, <\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s no food that better defines the perfect North Texas summer than a tasty burger. A melted cheese patty topped with lettuce, pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, grilled onions and tasty condiments \u2014 it doesn\u2019t get better than that.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you love a great burger as much as I do, you\u2019re in luck, because the Stockyards grills are firing up this Sunday for the Cowtown Burger Showdown. Local chefs and restaurants will make their own unique versions of the American classic in hopes of taking home the top prize.\u00a0<\/p>\n Will a panel of judges deem the best burger one that\u2019s spicy? Maybe a savory-sweet recipe? Or who knows, maybe it\u2019ll be nontraditional, just like last year\u2019s winner: the POM Bulgogi Bao Burger.\u00a0<\/p>\n Find out more about the faceoff below.<\/p>\n Who makes best burger in North Texas?
