Local Press Burger Bar Competes for the Title of Wisconsin’s Best Burger

Local Press Burger Bar in Kewaskum has been announced as an Elite Eight finalist in the Wisconsin Beef Council’s “Best Burger Contest.” They had the seventh highest amount of nominations for the title. The nomination period was open from February 21 to March 21 for individuals to submit their best burger spot.
The menu features a variety of specialty burgers, sandwiches, a burger of the month special, and a fry of the month special. They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
To qualify for the contest, the hamburgers had to meet the following guidelines:
• The burger must be 100% beef (other ingredients may be added to the patty such as spices, vegetables, etc.)
• All burgers must be composed of a formed ground beef patty served on a bun or other bread product (such as biscuits, focaccia or tortillas). Burgers may include any combination of condiments (such as ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard), sauces (such as barbeque or hot sauce), cheeses and toppings (such as bacon, onions, tomatoes and lettuce). Every component of the burger must be placed between the bun or bread pieces or served open-faced on a bread product.
The Wisconsin Beef Council’s panel of judges will visit each restaurant in the finals to taste and score their burgers. The judges will be scoring the burgers based on taste, appearance and presentation, proper cooking temperature, overall eating enjoyment, and bonus points could be awarded for the environment, atmosphere and experience in the restaurant. A winner will be announced on the Wisconsin Beef Council’s website and social media on May 1 in celebration of National Beef Month.
