On Saturday, July 13th in Sanborn Square Park, downtown Boca Raton, our very own Marti Soroka with her two beautiful daughters in tow, was one of a handpicked panel of judges to decide who will be the “Best Grill Master”.
Twelve local chefs sweated it out both outside and, on the grill, to create and present a grilling masterpiece to the prestige table of Grill Master Judges in this Burger Battle Competition. But these chefs were not only competing to be the “Best Grill Master”, they were also competing for the “People’s Choice Award.” Guests were indulged with unique burger creations and flavors, while jamming to live entertainment, enjoying craft beers, summer wines, and seasonal spirits.

- Boca Raton – M.E.A.T. Eatery & Taproom, Cheffrey Eats Food Truck, Burton’s Grill & Bar, TooJay’s Gourmet Deli, Crazy Uncle Mike’s
