SOBEWFF® 2026 Burger Bash Winners: Judges’ Pick + People’s Choice
The South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF®) 2026 brought the heat at Mike’s Amazing® Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons®, where guests and celebrity judges crowned two different champions: one by the judges’ panel and one by the crowd vote.
Judges’ Pick: “The Very Best Burger Award” — NFA Burger (Dunwoody, Georgia)
The Schweid & Sons® “The Very Best Burger Award” went to NFA Burger, the gas-station-born burger spot from Dunwoody, Georgia and Alpharetta, GA. Their winning burger was “Billy’s Classic” — a smashed cheeseburger built with mustard, pickles, house-made seasoning, and their “sassy sauce,” served on a Martin’s potato roll.
People’s Choice: Mike’s Amazing® People’s Choice Award — La Birra Bar (Miami)
When it came to the fan vote, La Birra Bar took home the Mike’s Amazing® People’s Choice Award again, continuing their Burger Bash dominance. The Miami New Times report notes La Birra Bar is owned by Daniel, Roxana, and Renzo Cocchia, and that this win marked their third People’s Choice title (after 2022 and 2025). La Birra Bar’s locations in Florida include; North Miami Beach | Wynwood | Fort Lauderdale | Weston | Doral
Why This Year’s Burger Bash 2026 Results Matter
Burger Bash is one of SOBEWFF’s most competitive, high-visibility events—so having one burger win the judges and another win the people’s vote tells you something important:
- Judges’ Pick = precision, technique, and a burger that stands out on pure execution
- People’s Choice = mass appeal, crave-factor, and a burger that wins the crowd bite after bite
