Last night was the crowd pleasing, if awkwardly titled, "Blue Moon Burger Bash, presented by Allen Brothers, hosted by Rachael Ray." Held at the Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn, former Top Chef contest Spike Mendelsohn won the judge's prize of his burger with blue cheese, bacon, and horseradish mayonnaise, while the popular vote was won by Lure Fishbar's Josh Capon. But clearly the real winners were those who go to try offerings from Al Roker, Shake Shack and more.
Here are a gallery of some of the delectable burgers from Grub Street and Eater also has some commentary on the night ("Standout sides: Dumont's fried pickles, Minetta's chips with onion dip, Bobby's Burger Palace's milkshake").
