Would you look at that? WOW!!!

It’s “The Bash Daddy” burger from Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar in North Carolina. Are you thinking what we’re thinking: “How soon can we get this in our mouth?”

The answer: February 20, 2015

We invited Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and founder Frank Scibelli to represent our ground beef by serving hamburgers at the 2015 South Beach Wine & Food Festival® Amstel Light Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons and hosted by Rachael Ray. Not only did he say yes but he has come up with, pardon the joke, one bad ass burger!!!

The Bash Daddy will consist of a proprietary blend patty made from short rib, brisket and Schweid & Sons ground beef topped with Raclette and Comte Cheese, Amstel Light & Bacon Braised Caramelized Onions and homemade Mustard Aioli on a freshly made potato bun.

We’re pretty sure this has the makings of The Very Best Burger!

Thirty of the nation’s top burger chefs will arrive in Miami with their best burger recipes to compete under the signature white tents behind The Ritz-Carlton South Beach hotel as Rachael Ray returns to host her 9^th annual Burger Bash®.

Sharing the same scratch-kitchen philosophy and desire to turn simple ingredients into something culinary, Scibelli worked with Bad Daddy’s Corporate Executive Chef Tim Kast and his culinary team to create The Bash Daddy, a new recipe specifically designed for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival®.  Using the freshest, high-quality ingredients, The Bash Daddy will consist of a proprietary blend patty made from short rib, brisket and Schweid & Sons ground beef topped with Raclette and Comte Cheese, Amstel & Bacon Braised Caramelized Onions and homemade Mustard Aioli on a freshly made potato bun.

“We chose Frank and the Bad Daddy’s team to represent Schweid & Sons in this year’s Burger Bash because we are confident that they can do a better job of cooking up flavorful and unique burgers than we ever could. We are huge fans of the restaurant and would not have chosen them to represent us if we didn’t think they had a chance to win,” said Jamie Schweid, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing, IT at Schweid & Sons.

Chefs utilizing Schweid & Sons product in their recipe will have their burger presented to the all-star judging panel consisting of Chrissy Teigen, George Motz, Dan Le Batard, Katie Lee and Geoffrey Zakarian for a chance to take home the Schweid & Sons Very Best Burger award.

“We are extremely honored to be chosen to compete in this year’s Burger Bash as a representative of Schweid & Sons,” said Scibelli.  “Our loyal guests at all of our locations are constantly blown away by what we can do with a burger and we look forward to showing Miami what Bad Daddy’s brings to the table with the debut of The Bash Daddy.”

Praised by guests and critics alike, Bad Daddy’s has been rated one of USA Today’s 25 Best Burger Joints and was named to Zagat’s ‘Between the Bun: Must Try Burgers’ list in 2014.
