Burger fans came out to the 4th annual Amstel Light Burger Bash to try the best renditions from top chefs including Bobby Flay, Rocco DiSpirito, Masaharu Morimoto, among others.

The annual South Beach Wine and Food Festival event hosted by Food Network's Rachael Ray. Altough many good burgers to sample, our favorites were Michael's Genuine bacon cheeseburger (Which won best burger and a burger we eat quite frequent) and we also liked author of the South Beach Diet, Dr. Arthur Agatston's turkey burger, with goat cheese on a flaxseed whole-wheat bun. Yum!
