The Denver Burger Battle amounted to a cook-off of epic proportions at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium last night, as chefs from restaurants in Boulder and Denver competed in a fierce competition to raise money for the Kossler Foundation, which distributes funds to local nonprofits. I was there for the throw-down and captured a ton of photos from the friendly brawl, which featured Larkburger, Highland Tap and Burger, CityGrille, TAG, Park Burger, The Sink, Madison Street, Crave, H Burger, Mateo, Cholon and Row 14. By the way, Larkburger won first place from the judges, while Crave won the hearts of the people.

Continue through for meaty photos of the flame wars.
