I Went On A Quest To Find The Best Burger In Newcastle
This did, at one point, strike me as a good idea.
The first ever Battle of the Burger was held at The Tyne Bar in Newcastle this weekend.
The Battle of the Burger pittied six of the city's bars and restaurants against each other in a celebration of all things beefy (and a little bit porky, too).

"We expected to sell 2,500 burgers across the whole weekend," said Danny Hughes, organiser of the Battle of the Burger. "But on Friday alone we did 1,500."
Danny told BuzzFeed Life, "we thought it'd be great if we had a cool event where we pitch all these burgers against each other in a really friendly competition. There's going to be no losers here," he explained.

The voting process was simple.
"A token's a vote," Hughes said. Each token costs £3 and pays for your burger. "But we wanted something to separate that from being all about footfall so we've asked three judges to come in and they wield 10 votes themselves. That gives people a bit of nose room to pip it at the post."

And competition was high.
"They've all come at it wanting to win; they've all put some time into thinking about how they're going to do it," Hughes said.
