By the way, in 2023, Katy Tierney (a 3rd grade teacher at Estes Elementary School) created an unofficial Burger Week spreadsheet when her husband saw the list of participating restaurants and remarked, "We're going to need a spreadsheet." Since Katy loves making them, she vowed to make one and did. For 2024, she teamed up with Visit Owensboro to create the Official Burger Week Guide and it's a valuable resource! It comes with pro tips, geographical groupings of participating restaurants and a ratings system so you can score each burger that you try. The guide also features descriptions and photos of each $7 burger being served.

Remember, in addition to you getting the opportunity to help select the inaugural People's Choice winner (sponsored by German American Bank), you can also win prizes during Owensboro Burger Week. You're encouraged to snap photos when you eat Burger Week burgers, post them on social media and use the hashtag #owensboroburgerweek. Anyone who posts at least three photos during Owensboro Burger Week will be eligible to win one of two prizes. The grand prize is a Mini Green Egg from Green River Appliance. Second prize is a selection of grilling meats from another sponsor- Hill View Farms Meats.
