Teams of chefs competed Thursday for the title to best burger at the sixth annual Bud and Burgers competition at City Hall. Attendees enjoyed live music, cold beer and more than a dozen varieties of hamburgers fresh off the grill. Proceeds from the event, which was hosted by Mitchell Distributing, will support L.O.V.E.’s Kitchen.
