“Sports is our passion, and burgers are … well, they’re delicious … so, we were all-in to be part of the ‘All-in Burger Debate,'” said Golic. Greenberg added, “People can get very passionate about sports and the way they like their burgers, so we’re looking forward to hosting the ‘All-in Burger Debate’ grand prize winner in Bristol and seeing some of that passion come to bear when they become our producer for the day.”
