Last week, the Berwyn Development Corporation (BDC) sought out Berwyn’s restaurants in search of Berwyn’s Best Burger. We asked the community to let us know their favorite places to grab a burger. Round 1 included a poll of 12 Berwyn-based establishments that serve burgers on their regular menus. The public was asked to select up to 5 of their favorite burger joints.

Round 2 will bring together a group of local judges for a single taste-test event to compare each burger side-by-side. Their scores along with another public poll vote will determine the burger that can proclaim itself as “Berwyn’s Best.” Online voting ends Thursday, May 26 at 5:00 PM. For more information on the contest, visit http://www.whyberwyn.com/shop-berwyn/berwyns-best-contest/.
