La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit, Mexico - On Sunday, June 16th from 5 pm until 7 pm, the Marina Riviera Nayarit will host the 5th Annual Burger Cook-Off at the La Cruz de Huanacaxtle marina pool.

Everyone is invited to participate in this evening of family-friendly fun, by either competing in the cook-off in hopes of being named the "Burger King" of 2019, or by helping us judge the entries and decide which contestant makes the best burger in town.

This is a free event, however, donations will be collected to help support the Campamentos Tortugueros Boca de Tomates, a turtle conservation and protection camp located just north of Marina Vallarta. Good eating for a good cause!

5TH MARINA LA CRUZ BURGER COOK-OFF DETAILS

Burger Chefs should arrive at 3:00 pm at the Poolside Deli, where you will sign in before you start grilling on your choice of three types of grills. All type of burgers are welcomed, beef, chicken, turkey, veggie, and fish. Chefs must bring their own grilling utensils, cutting boards, etc., along with four ready-to-grill burgers, buns, and condiments.

The Marina Poolside Deli will supply plates, napkins, and toothpicks with your contestant number for judging. Burgers will be cut into quarters with your number on each piece.

Judges/General Public should arrive at the Poolside Deli between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Once all of the burgers have been grilled, they will be on display, and you can sample pieces of them all! Be sure to keep the toothpick that has the number of your favorite burger on it, which is how votes will be counted to determine the winner.

Please feel free to bring any side dishes you would like to share. After all, this is a contest, not a dinner special!
