Get Ready for Some Beefed Up Competition: Snappatizer Launches Digital Burger Battle in South FloridaMore than 20 local restaurants will take their shot at being crowned as the purveyor "South Florida's Best Burger" through a unique digital battle. Starting Feb. 1, the contest, BurgerBattle.io, will offer burger lovers two months to visit participating restaurants and rank, review and share burger selfies to win prizes. Each restaurant will nominate their own, unique burger for the battle and local burger lovers will decide which meat-between-the-buns concoction is #1. South Florida's first online burger battle has an A-list roster of participating restaurants covering Broward County, northern-Miami-Dade County and Boca Raton. Avid burger battlers will recognize some burger battle powerhouses, most notably Rok:Brgr, Tucker Duke's Lunchbox, Brgr Stop and M.E.A.T. Eatery & Taproom. The winning restaurant will achieve top placement on Snappatizer for burger searches, and of course, bragging rights. The restaurants aren't the only ones trying to win in this contest. By ranking the burgers on Snappatizer, local foodies can enter to win prizes, including the Grand Prize of a Caribbean Cruisefor two. For the first time, the best burger in South Florida will be decided by Snappatizer, an app designed for foodies, using a proprietary ranking algorithm to help determine the best burger in the area. "We have an impressive lineup of participating burgers and restaurants and cruises to win, so we're really excited about this," says Josh Rotenberg, COO of Snappatizer. "People love to list their favorite foods and share them with friends and this is the perfect platform to do just that." About Snappatizer Snappatizer, based in Fort Lauderdale, was created by two food lovers tired of restaurant-ranking apps and their five-star rating systems. Snappatizer, a new iOS app created for foodies, soft-launched in September. Foodies can take photos of local eats, add filters, leave positive reviews specific to their dishes and then rank that dish relative to the 300+ categories available. That data is then used to feed Snappatizer's proprietary algorithm, which powers the search function. This enables users to find the best burger, eggs benedict or pad thai in their area. Joshua Rotenberg, Co-Founder and COO at Snappatizer, is a South Florida native. Josh has an insatiable passion for food and is a self taught user experience developer. He graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2005 and earned his MBA from Nova Southeastern in 2007. For the last ten years, Josh has made a career out of crafting digital strategies for startups and Fortune 500's.
