There is a twist in this year’s Nebraska Beef Council’s Best Burger Contest. Director of Marketing Adam Wegner says Nebraskans will still be able to nominate their best burger restaurants August 1st through the 20th by logging on to nebeef.org.

Wegner says the finals will be an event.

Wegner says they typically get around 300 nominations each year. Past winners include The Cellar Bar & Grill in Kearney, The Peppermill Restaurant and Lounge in Valentine and two-time winner Stella’s Bar & Grill in Bellevue.
