Event Description
Join us for the Build a Better Burger Competition at Roundup 2025!
This year's event will feature two divisions:
- Undergraduate student teams
- Graduate students, staff and faculty teams
Think Top Chef, but burgers! Each team of four will present their custom burger creation to a panel of judges and explain the inspiration behind their ingredients and theme.
Kentucky burgers will be supplied by the Kentucky Beef Council.
From pun-filled team names to bold, mouthwatering burger creations, we know the competition will be fierce. Prizes—and bragging rights—are on the line for the top teams in each division.
Deadline to register: Friday, August 29 at noon
(We’ll follow up with your assigned start time and more details closer to the event.)
Even if you’re not competing, we encourage you to come by, cheer on your favorite teams, and help us vote for the Most Creative Theme!
The competition will take place at Roundup on Thursday, September 4 at 4 p.m. under the tents by Cooper House (1312 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, KY 40546).
We can’t wait to see what you cook up!
