Everyone We Saw at the Burger Week Kick-Off Party at Covington's Braxton Brewing Co.

Cincinnati Burger Week officially kicks off on July 15, offering $5 specialty patties at participating restaurants across the Tri-State. But before the burgers hit the grill, Burger Week enthusiasts headed to Braxton Brewing Co. in Covington for the official kick-off party on July 10. The event featured a sneak peek of various specialty options from Flipdaddy's, Bru Burger, Keystone Bar & Grill and The Pub, plus Braxton brews and live music from Saint Sterling. It was the first chance to grab — and stamp — the official CityBeat Cincinnati Burger Week passport. Once participants collect four stamps, they can be entered to win the grand prize of the Ultimate Grill Out Party. Cincinnati Burger Week is a magical seven-day food extravaganza that takes place July 15-21 at more than 75 restaurants, bars and bakeries, each offering their own chef-prepared take on the burger — meaty, veggie and even dessert burgers. It's the biggest Burger Week yet.
