BBOYZ Belleville is the Top Novemburger of 2024.

Throughout the month of November, restaurants and food lovers united for the inaugural “NOVEMBURGER” – a month-long celebration of burgers for a cause, supporting United Way Hastings & Prince Edward. 1527 burgers were sold with $2 from each burger benefiting United Way Hastings & Prince Edward, to help fund local programs and services across the region.

“This was such an exciting campaign to launch in our area”, says Cristina Cadavid, Fundraising & Community Relations Coordinator at United Way Hastings & Prince Edward. “With the support of 9 participating restaurants, 5 ambassadors, and our presenting sponsor, Maple Dale Cheese Co., the first year of Novemburger was a resounding success.”

This year’s Novemburger campaign featured 9 restaurants, each crafting a unique burger creation to sell throughout the month.

The most coveted award is Top Novemburger of the Year. A panel of five ambassadors were asked to sample Platinum Novemburgers and rank them on presentation, taste, originality, and overall execution. After tallying the scores, BBoyz Belleville came out on top, making their Zesty Fried Chicken Burger the Top Novemburger of 2024!

The title of Most Novemburgers Sold goes to The Local Social who sold a total of 340 burgers. Tim McKinney said, “I was glad to host the launch of this event – it was a great success thanks to the team at United Way HPE and their hard work. The Local Social is looking forward to next year.”

The 2024 People’s Choice Novemburger award recipients:

• 1st Place: Capers Restaurant
• 2nd Place: BBoyz
• 3rd Place: Burger Revolution
“ A big thanks to Novemburger’s biggest fans- our amazing community” said Cadavid, “we are looking forward to 2025.”

Over $6,000 was raised from Novemburger supporting United Way HPE’s annual fundraising campaign, which aims to raise $2.25 million this year. These funds will support essential programs and services across the region.
