Chicago’s own Art Smith of Table 52 restaurant (Oprah’s personal chef) was one of the participants.
The burger was made with USDA Prime aged beef from Allen Brothers, from right here in Chicago, the leading supplier of America’s finest beef, USDA Prime, to the nation’s top steakhouses and restaurants.

Eighteen of the nation’s most talented restaurant chefs fired up their grills and unleashed their culinary creativity in a heated competition that Allen Brothers president Todd Hatoff described as “the World Series of the burger world.” . After each chef’s mini-burgers were sampled by the burger lovers and the votes tabulated, the coveted Burger Bash People’s Choice Award went to Radius chef and co-owner Michael Schlow for his “Schlow Burger.”Mr. Schlow selected his prime ingredient, Prime beef, from Allen Brothers. His prize-winning burger’s toppings were cheddar cheese, crispy onions and black pepper horseradish sauce.
