Moonshine Philly's "The Pennsport" – crispy prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions, basil aioli, arugula and tomato jam on a garlic toasted bun – took 3rd Place Judges Choice at the 9th Annual Philadelphia Burger Brawl at the Navy Yard.
More than 50 restaurants battled for bragging rights at the 9th annual Philadelphia Burger Brawl on Sunday.
Lucky's Last Chance "Pickle Monster" – two quarter-pound patties with American cheese, sweet relish, deep fried pickles, pickle aioli, topped with Herr's pickle flavored potato chips on a butter-toasted Liscio's bakery roll – was the judges' favorite.
The People's Choice winner was Bainbridge Street Barrell House and its eight-ounce brisket burger blend with horseradish cheddar, fig aioli, shredded lettuce, a plum shishito bacon jam and fried shallots.
A record crowd of 3,900 patrons attended the event at the Navy Yard to help support students attending Philadelphia schools.
Here are photos from the event:
