Cabarrus Burger Madness

Throughout the month of March, local chefs put their best burgers forward during this annual countywide contest!

The Delicious Details

Cabarrus Burger Madness is a month-long celebration featuring specialty burger creations from participating local restaurants across Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

Held annually from March 1-31, this friendly, bragging-rights competition showcases the culinary creativity of our chefs and gives diners exciting new dishes to try. Using the free Cabarrus Burger Madness mobile pass, diners can track their culinary adventure and unlock the opportunity to vote for their favorite by checking in at one location.

In 2024, The Eatery at Southern Strain Brewing Company‘s “Life’s Gouda With Bacon Burger” took the crown! Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun by signing up for the mobile pass, checking in at participating restaurants, trying the exclusive burgers and casting a vote.

Cabarrus Burger Madness will return on March 1, 2025 for a fifth year of burger fun!

Until then, you’re invited to discover the destination’s growing culinary scene and support Cabarrus County’s local restaurants year-round.
