Revelstoke Bear Aware is inviting people to bite back with its 3rd Annual Burger Challenge.

The burger battle, hosted by Bear Aware, pits local restaurants against each other to come up with the most succulent sandwich, from the more traditional to the exotic. This year, nine eateries have put their buns on the line to try and take the title from 2023 winner Paramjit's Kitchen that got 83 votes for its tandoori chicken burger.  

The lineup of participants has been announced, with descriptions of the contenders they're offering being released daily on Facebook. This year's burger challengers are:

• Big Eddy Pub – Gouda Vibes Only Burger    

• Dose Coffee – Chicken Vodka Burger

• Woolsey Creek Bistro – Bison and Bone Marrow Burger

• Nico's Pizzeria – Burger Boss Poutine

• River City Pub – MacDaddy Burger

• Taco Club – La Chula Burger

• Old School Eatery – Chicken Parm

• Paramajit's Kitchen – Sizzling Steak Stack

• Village Idiot – Beef Khalifa Burger

The public has two weeks to try all nine and cast their votes for their favourite burger, with the challenge running from Sunday, Nov. 24 to Dec. 8, a bit later than usual this year. Voting can be done online at , with full burger names and descriptions available on their Facebook page.

Proceeds from the challenge will go to the Revelstoke Fruit Share Program.
