Nominations are open for Arkansas’ Best Burger Contest, a statewide competition celebrating 100% beef burgers prepared in Arkansas restaurants.
Hosted by the Arkansas Beef Council, the contest highlights the use of high-quality beef in the state’s burgers.
To be eligible, nominated burgers must be made from 100% beef and available on a restaurant’s regular or special menu during the contest period. Nominations for restaurants with multiple locations will be counted separately for each site.
Finalists from each region will be selected, and the burger with the most nominations will be named the winner and announced in May.
Nominations can be submitted at arkansasbeef.org through April 30 at 11:59 p.m. Nominations can be submitted once per day from individual email addresses.
Beef Council Chairman Caleb Plyer says “We are thrilled to announce the opening of the 2025 contest and put a spotlight on the incredible burgers being made right here in Arkansas. This is a fantastic way to promote the beef industry and get the community involved while showcasing restaurants that are going above and beyond in crafting delicious 100% beef burgers.”
In the inaugural Best Burger Contest, the Caveman Burger from Bailey’s Family Restaurant in Cave City was named the winner.
