Hamburger Hop presented by Home Grown Program supported by Sysco, DoorDash, and Miller Lite

Friday, September 25 | 6-9 PM | Harris Theater Rooftop

Get rocked, popped, and locked in! The Hamburger Hop is back, and this year, we’re flipping the script. Enjoy those iconic Chicago skyline views as chefs compete with their crews for “Best Burger" bragging rights. We’re serving up a heavy rotation of on-beat beefy bites, cold beer, wine, and cocktails, plus a breakdance battle to keep the energy high. A night of grillin’ and chillin’ awaits, where celebrity judges drop the Judge’s Choice Award and YOU crown the People’s Choice Award.

The full chef lineup will be announced this summer.
