fire house 7 burger
This burger was created for my crew at Fire Station 7. My crew encouraged me to enter the the Bud and Burgers Championship. I was selected as a semi-Finalist and served it up to hundred's of people at the Taste of Cincinnati where it won by a large margin. The burger then went on to the Finals in St. Louis where it went against 9 other outstanding Burgers from around the country. At the end of the final judging it was selected runner up. A great accomplishment for an amateur cook. The Firehouse 7 burger is actually a modified and improved version from the competition.
