Le Burger Week Victory!

Carlo's Cucina from quaint Sandy Hook, has snagged the Canadian title in Le Burger Week 2023. A triumph echoing their win two years back!

Last year, Carlo almost clinched the title, finishing just shy at second. This year's champion burger, The Magnifico, had its ups and downs but emerged as the national front-runner by the end. Kudos to local contenders like Brazen Hall, Jonesy’s Restaurant, and PVG Street Eats for making it to the top five.

But today, we celebrate Carlo, an inspiration. His win isn't just about the burger; it's a testament to the unwavering support of the Interlake community and his dear Marnie. Cheers to more victories ahead!
