This past weekend at Chicago Gourmet, Chef Devon Quinn and Brian Shim of eden took home the 2024 Hamburger Hop Judges’ Award, while Chef Chris Cunningham of JT’s Genuine Sandwich Shop won the 2024 People’s Choice Award.

Chefs Joe Flamm and Adrienne Cheatham co-hosted the evening. Set to DJ beats, 14 chefs flipped, grilled, and competed for burger bragging rights. 

A panel of celebrity judges tasted their way through the burger creations, finally crowning Devon Quinn and Brian Shim as the Judges' Award winner for their eden Market Burger made with Certified Angus beef, housemade American cheese, dill pickle-corn slaw, flatwater arugula, oven-dried tomatoes, black garlic Dijonnaise, served on a Turano Potato Bun. Meanwhile, Chris Cunningham took home the People’s Choice Award for their JT's Special Burger made with Angus Beef Steakburger, Kerrygold aged cheddar, Dijonnaise, pickled granny smith apple, hickory smoked bacon, served on a Turano French Brioche Bun. Guests cast their votes at chef stations by dropping Blue Moon bottle caps into voting buckets.

Burgers were judged on a range of characteristics, including flavor, creativity and presentation. The winners took home burger-shaped trophies, a magnum of Caymus Wine, along with packages provided by Sysco that included Yeti Coolers, Cookbooks, a Certified Angus Beef cleaver, and bragging rights.
