In an intense battle of burger royalty the local burger heroes once again emerged victorious, claiming the title of 'Best-Looking Burger' in the National Burger Awards’ Champion of Champions competition.

The Beefy Boys wowed the judges with their signature Oklahoma Onion Boy (Animal Style) burger, featuring two prime dry-aged Herefordshire beef onion-smashed patties, mustard, American cheese, and a Peter Cooks’ semi-brioche bun.

The burger not only clinched their 2023 Best Burger win at the National Burger Awards, but also solidified their reign in the prestigious competition, securing a 2024 win.
