Looking for the best burger in Wisconsin? You have to go up north to get it.
The All American Burger at Pickles Bar and Grill in Hazelhurst was named Wednesday as the winner of the Wisconsin's Best Burger Contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Beef Council.
A panel of three secret judges evaluated the Elite Eight — the finalist burgers from eight restaurants — and chose The All American Burger, a half-pound burger with lettuce, tomato, raw onion, smoked garlic mayo and choice of cheese.
The eight restaurants had the most public nominations out of the thousands of nominations the Beef Council got about a month ago.
“We are honored to have our All American Burger named as the winner of the Wisconsin Beef Council’s 2024 Best Burger Contest,” Justin Koshak, who co-own Pickles with Dan Linscott, said in a Wisconsin Beef Council news release. “We are happy to represent what the Northwoods has to offer when it comes to restaurants, taverns and grills. There are so many great spots up here that showcase great menus and fantastic food.”
