Once again, the title for best burger will be on the line at the third annual Burgers and Bubbles event.
The burger smackdown and fundraiser takes place Sunday, Sept. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. on the lower lawn of the Daniel Fisher House.
The event raises money for the Vineyard Preservation Trust.
Chef Steve Buckley from Buckley’s Catering was crowned top burger maker at last year’s event, and returns to defend his title against Chef Joe Monteiro from 19 Raw, Chef Ting from Black Joy Kitchen, Chef Spring Sheldon from S & S Kitchenette and Chef Matt Stencil from 9 Craft Kitchen and Bar.
“At the heart of it, it’s basically a chance to celebrate these hardworking chefs, the restaurants and the teams that back them up,” said Alex Stone, the event coordinator. “We wanted to create something at the end of the season to sendoff a busy summer the right way.”
There will also be music, lawn games, raffles, a silent auction and plenty of champagne flowing for people to enjoy throughout the afternoon, said Ms. Stone, who has seen the event grow over the past few years and expects about 300 guests to attend this year.
“Our goal is ultimately just to raise as much money as we can to benefit the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust because they take care of all of our historical buildings and kind the island in the natural way that they can,” said Ms. Stone. “So we really appreciate the Island and we love our community.”
