Cleveland butcher Michael Rado pits his signature sirloin chuck blend The Burger against Phoenix food truck chef Adam Allison's more refined crab leg and duck fat hollandaise Surf and Turf Burger. And St. Louis restaurant owner Katie Lee Collier has the wild card entry - the Italian-inspired Ciao Bella Burger.

After an exhaustive nationwide search, six of the best burger flippers in the country come together in St. Louis with $25,000 on the line. Only three will make it past the discerning palates of Chef JJ Johnson and comedian Owen Benjamin. And then a hungry crowd will decide who has The Next Great Burger.
