Burger lovers in Norfolk County have a new reason to head out for a meal this November, and it’s all for a good cause.
United Way Golden Horseshoe is bringing its Ultimate Burger Battle to Norfolk for the first time, with participating restaurants creating specialty burgers to raise money for local community programs.
The month-long fundraiser runs throughout November across Norfolk, Haldimand, Brant and Niagara.
Kathryn Fair, Regional Director for Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk with United Way Golden Horseshoe, explains, it’s a great community event.
Three Norfolk County restaurants are taking part:
- Capitol & Lounge 33 – 93 King Street, Delhi
- Kaley’s Restaurant – 33 Robinson Street, Simcoe
- Ferrera – 200 Argyle Street, Simcoe
Each restaurant has created a special burger for the competition, offering customers something different from their usual menu.
Fair says the chefs have embraced the challenge.
Customers can vote for their favourites using QR codes available at participating restaurants. First, second and third place winners will be determined through people’s choice voting.
Beyond the competition, the money raised helps support United Way programs, including the Cancer Support Resource Program of Norfolk, Community Support Services of Haldimand-Norfolk and Club True.
Fair says community involvement makes the fundraiser possible.
The Ultimate Burger Battle continues until November 30, giving residents plenty of time to sample the creations and support local businesses.
Participating restaurants, burger descriptions and voting details are available at uwgh.ca.
