Organized by the owner of The Saint James, Rouge and 500 Degrees, Rob Wasserman, and his wife, Maggie, the third-annual Philadelphia Burger Brawl will return Sunday, May 5, 2013, 3–6 p.m. at the Fleisher Art Memorial.

Tickets are up for grabs at $75 per person, and include burger tastings from all participating restaurants, cocktails from Jim Beam, beer tastings from Dogfish Head, Rita’s Water Ice and more.
Noteworthy 2013 participants include: AllaSpina, Butcher and Singer, The Capital Grille, The Corner, Ela, Good Dog Bar, Lucky’s Last Chance, Shake Shack and South Philadelphia Tap Room. Wasserman’s restaurants will offer burgers, but do not take part in the competition.
