Champions deserve the right tools. 🔪🏆

Our winners didn’t just walk away with bragging rights, they walked away equipped for the next battle.

A huge thank you to Cutco Cutlery and Curtis Jaques for supplying our champions the best knives around. 🔥

Precision, performance, and craftsmanship worthy of the restaurants that earned their place at the top.

Because when you’ve earned the title, your tools should be worthy of the trophy. 🏆🔪

We’re still dreaming about chicken and burgers btw 🐔🔥 From fierce competition to big wins, every champion walked away with an American-made 7” Santoku knife from Cutco Cutlery & Curtis Jaques. 🔪🇺🇸

And because great tools should last, Cutco backs each knife with a commitment to replace it if it ever becomes dull or damaged.

Congrats to all our winners, and thanks for making it one to remember! 🏆

Chicken? Check. 🍗
Burgers? Check. 🍔
Ice-cold in hand? Now we’re talking. 🍺

There’s something about a showing up that just makes the whole night feel a little more like a party. 🍻

We’re talking 40+ restaurants, unlimited bites, rides, music, friendly competition and Coronas making their way through the crowd all night long.

That’s a pretty solid recipe for a good time. 🔥

Huge cheers to for being such a big part of what we do. We’ll drink to that. 🍻

See you in 2027, Denver.

A great event is all about the details, and the details don’t stop at the food. 👀

From the first bite to the last round, United Site Services helped keep Chicken Fight & Burger Brawl running smoothly behind the scenes.

As our proud sponsor, their event solutions helped make sure guests could focus on what really mattered: great food, cold drinks, and a whole lot of fun. 🍗🍔

A huge thank you to United Site Services for helping us make this year’s event one to remember!

And to everyone who came out… which bite are you still thinking about? 👇

Think you have what it takes to win a wing-eating competition? 🍗

Because confidence is one thing… actually getting the wings down is another. 😂

We caught up with Patrick after his attempt, and let’s just say: the gag reflex was undefeated.

We hope Patrick is out there training for his redemption round next year!

🔪🍗 When the chicken is this good, you need a good knife to go with it!

Our own Megha McSwain caught up with Curtis Jaques from Cutco Cutlery at Chicken Fight & Burger Brawl to talk about one seriously cool prize: winners took home an American-made 7” Santoku knife, backed by Cutco’s commitment to replace it if it ever becomes dull or damaged. 🔪

Because bragging rights are great… but a knife that’s ready for the next cookout? Even better. 🔥

Make sure you head over to ourknifeman.com for all you knife needs!

Meet Tom, one of our most loyal friends, back again for another year of chicken, burgers, and everything in between. 🍗🍔

We caught up with him at this year’s event and loved hearing how long he’s been part of the DiningOut family.

Only problem? We lost his contact info along the way.
If you know Tom, or you ARE Tom, comment or DM us.

We’d love to show him some appreciation for years of showing up and showing out. 🙌
