Mike's Amazing® Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons® hosted by Rachael Ray and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham

Our epic burger showdown is more beefed up than ever thanks to the glorious return of the beloved host who started it all: Rachael Ray — and yes, she’ll be there live to keep the grills sizzling and the energy high, alongside co-host Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, founder of Cloud23 Hot Sauce. This year is extra special as we celebrate not only the 25th anniversary of SOBEWFF®, but also 20 years of the iconic Burger Bash®.

Two incredible milestones come together for one unforgettable night, celebrating a fan-favorite event that has become a true Festival legend. Join Rachael Ray and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham under the Festival’s iconic white tents for an evening packed with flavor, fun, and unforgettable moments. A dynamic and star-studded panel of judges — restaurateur Matt Kuscher, comedian and cultural tastemaker Bert Kreischer, supermodel and entrepreneur Ashley Graham, award-winning journalist and television icon Gayle King, viral chef and digital food phenom Nick DiGiovanni, and beloved food influencer Samantha Schnur aka @TheNaughtyFork — will come together to crown one standout chef with the coveted Schweid & Sons® The Very Best Burger Award.

You get to decide who takes home the Mike’s Amazing® People’s Choice Award after indulging in a carefully curated menu of 30+ mouthwatering burgers and crave-worthy side dishes, crafted by some of the country’s most acclaimed chefs and restaurants. Tough assignment, but we know you’re up to the task. Wash it all down with free-flowing drinks from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio. Remember, it’s a marathon — not a sprint — so grab a drink, take a breath, and let your taste buds lead the way.
