The Downtown Sioux Falls Burger Battle turns 10 this year and will be bigger than ever.

You’d have to eat more than one burger per day in January to experience all 32 entries.

Diners can order and vote on burger categories based on patty, presentation, toppings, bun and customer service with the DTSF Digital Passport App.  The restaurant with the highest average score by the end of the month will be the 10th annual Downtown Burger Battle champion.
