Revelstoke Bear Aware is inviting people to bite back with its 3rd Annual Burger Challenge.

The burger battle, hosted by Bear Aware, pits local restaurants against each other to come up with the most succulent sandwich, from the more traditional to the exotic. This year, nine eateries have put their buns on the line to try and take the title from 2023 winner Paramjit's Kitchen that got 83 votes for its tandoori chicken burger.  

The lineup of participants has been announced, with descriptions of the contenders they're offering being released daily on Facebook. This year's burger challengers are:
