Developed by the Shelburne BIA, the contest is hosted during March and April, with the intention of creating customer traffic for downtown restaurants at a time when they traditionally see slower business.  The burger competition featured six local restaurants including Beyond the Gate, Shannon's Tap & Grill, Dufferin Public House, Main Street Café, Sunrise Diner, and Tipsy Fox.  “There isn't a bad burger in town,” said Guchardi about each of the contestants.  As part of the contest, the Shelburne BIA also held a draw for a $100 gift certificate to any downtown business. Local resident, Brigg Jones was drawn as the winner and chose a gift certificate to The Tipsy Fox, the restaurant he voted as having the best burger in town.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2024-05-09 12:47:08 Post date GMT: 2024-05-09 16:47:08 Post modified date: 2024-05-09 12:47:11 Post modified date GMT: 2024-05-09 16:47:11 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
