Rob and Maggie Wasserman of Rouge (205 S. 18th St.) are bringing back Burger Brawl for a second year, this time with even more worthy competitors.

On May 6, 20 professional chefs are competing at the Fleisher Art Memorial (719 Catharine St.) to win best burger and help raise $40,000 for Meredith Elementary School. Last year's winner, Jennifer Carroll, is returning to defend her title against the likes of Marcie Turney of Barbuzzo, Robert Aikens of The Dandelion, John Taus of The Corner, Brian Ricci of Kennett and Jason Cichonski of Ela. The discerning palates judging the patties include Meal Ticket's own Drew Lazor, Marc Summers of The Food Network, Michael Klein of philly.com and Grub Street's Collin Keefe. Philly.com/food, which is one of the event's sponsors, has put together a short video of a few competitors showing off their burger entry and talking some smack (above). They've also listed each burger for the public to vote on. Entry to the event is $75 and tickets can be purchased on the Burger Brawl website up until May 5 (no tix the day of). One hundred percent of the money raised will go to Meredith Elementary.
