No pattie wasleft unturned and no chip un-fried as 49 of Wellington’s finest eateries flexed their buns in the annual battle of the burger, Burger Wellington this year. There were over 3,800 votes texted in by the public this year, scoring each restaurant's burger out of 10. The top five restaurants with the highest average score became our Burger Wellington Finalists and cooked off for a panel of judges in a final bid to win the title on Monday 5 September. And the winner is...Café Polo with The Polly Burger. Congratulations!  Also congratulations go to Rosie Berkhart our text voter who has won the prize draw and nabbed herself an iPad 2 prize package worth over $1,500. Nice!
