Chef Michael Symon from B Spot in Cleveland, Ohio, was crowned the winner of the Heinz Best Dressed Burger Award during the sold-out Amstel Light Burger Bash, a featured event hosted by Rachael Ray, at the 2011 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Symon topped his competitors, 25 other leading burger chefs from across the country, and was presented with a crystal Tiffany and Co. Heinz(R) Ketchup bottle - an exquisite replica of the classic 14 oz. ketchup bottle - and a $1,000 check from Heinz to the chef's charity of choice. As the official condiment sponsor of the Burger Bash, and a leader in ketchup, condiments and sauces, it's fitting for Heinz to present the "Best Dressed Burger" award. Heinz judged each burger based on use of condiments, sauces and toppings; flavor complements; and overall presentation. Symon also won the people's choice award for the second time.
