Just Call Him Burgermeister

Westport First Selectman Jim Marpe bites into a burger today at Tavern on Main as the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce kicked off its month-long Great Westport Burger Contest. He also issued a proclamation declaring March Burger Month in Westport. Sponsored by the Berchem Moses law firm, the contest allows hamburger gourmets an opportunity to rate burger offerings in seven voting categories. Participating restaurants include Amis, Black Duck, Border Grille, Dunville’s, Harvest, Jesup Hall, Jr’s, Little Barn, Match Burger, McDonald’s, Parker Mansion, Rothbard Ale + Larder, Rye Ridge Deli, Shake Shack, Spotted Horse, Tarry Lodge, Tavern on Main, and Viva Zapata. Looking on are Ira Bloom, town attorney and Berchem Moses principal, and Selectman Jennifer Tooker. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
