The Rotary Club of Pensacola Suburban West will hold its inaugural Burger Battle by the Bay on Saturday, April 30 at the Vince Whibbs Sr. Community Maritime Park.

The Burger Battle by the Bay will feature teams of civic organizations, backyard novices and restaurants from the greater Pensacola Area. There will be some serious burger grillers competing for the Professional team category, and all teams will compete for the coveted People’s Choice award, so come hungry.  Burgers are not restricted to beef but must be prepared on a charcoal grill.
