The North Bend Bar and Grill’s first-ever burger contest is on, challenging local cooks to come up with a new burger for the restaurant menu.

The grand prize is a $100 gift certificate to the Bar and Grill, and the winning burger will be featured on the menu for three months.

Original recipes should include a list of all ingredients and specific cooking instructions.

The recipe should reflect the American/bar and grill style of the menu. The meat must be eight ounces of fresh ground beef, lamb, pork or a combination of them. Burgers must be cooked over an open flame. Buns can be a ciabatta, brioche or baguette.

The bar and grill should be able to charge no more than $14 for the burger, so truffles and foie gras are out.

Recipe entries will be submitted to nbbgburgercontest@gmail.com at Saturday, Aug. 4.
