United Way Oxford is turning up the heat this November with the 2026 Ultimate Burger Battle. For the third year in a row, the month-long culinary showdown will see local restaurants serving unique Ultimate Burger creations, donating $2 from each burger sold to United Way Oxford. Kicking off on Sunday, November 1, the event combines great food with the power of giving back.
In November, restaurants will compete for three titles: Ultimate Burger of the Year (chosen by a panel of community Ambassadors), People’s Choice (voted online), and Most Ultimate Burgers Sold.
This year’s lineup features a mouthwatering mix of Platinum and Gold-level participants, including:
- Platinum: The Mill, Charles Dickens Pub, Brickhouse Brewpub, The Cabin at UTBC, Madmash Brewery & Restaurant, Churchy’s Pub, The Copper Mug Pub, Chrissy’s Catering, P.B’s Fries, Boston Pizza Woodstock
- Gold: Boston Pizza Tillsonburg, Brunny’s Sports Bar & Grill, The Pub at Norwich Ave, Louie’s Pizza & Pasta
Sierra Construction proudly presents this year’s Ultimate Burger Battle, made possible by their generous support of this community-driven event. United Way Oxford also thanks Oxford County Cattlemen’s Association for supporting local impact.
“We are so excited to be hosting Ultimate Burger Battle for its third year. We know it has been a challenging year for many local businesses, and we’re incredibly grateful to have so many restaurants participating. Last year’s event raised more than $20,000, and those funds made an incredible impact right here in Oxford County,” said Resource Development Coordinator Megan Porter.
Burger lovers can vote for their favourite burger online at unitedwayoxford.ca/burgerbattle. The top burger will earn the coveted People’s Choice title.
Participants can also pick up the Ultimate Burger Battle Passport at participating restaurants to track their tastings. Those who try five or more burgers and return their passport to United Way Oxford will be entered for a chance to win a Burger Battle Ambassadorship for next year.
