What is ChamBURGER Month?

A month-long celebration of local flavour

ChamBURGER Month is a community-wide burger competition. Throughout October, participating Salmon Arm restaurants each put forward one signature burger — and it's the public who decided the winners. Every vote counted, and every voter had a chance to win.

The competition

Three titles up for grabs

Voters picked a favourite participating restaurant in each of the three categories. Three restaurants are named category winners, and three $100 gift cards are awarded to voters in one random draw. Each gift card is valid only at the restaurant that won its respective category.

Best tasting burger

The one you'd drive across town for. Pure flavour, judged on the first bite and the last.

Best presentation

The burger that stops you before you eat it. Plating, stacking, and everything on the side.

Most unique burger

The one nobody saw coming. Unexpected builds, bold combinations, genuine invention.
