The new year ushers in a brand-new list of contenders for the Downtown Sioux Falls Burger Battle, with a record 37 entrants in 2024.

The latest to hit my taste buds is the Wagoolicious Burger at Fernson Brewing Company.

It's billed as:

Two cheddar-crusted 100% Local Wangus Beef Patties, Bacon Jam with Ferson's Snow Eater Stout, White and yellow American Cheese, Tomatoes, Pickles, Onions, Wagoo Signature Sauce, Lettuce, Brioche Bun

While a lot of places try to stack as much as they can on a burger, the folks at Fernson focused instead on flavor.

It starts with everything you expect from a classic cheeseburger and then goes to the next level when the sweetness of bacon jam kicks in.

SCORECARD (Out of 5):

• Flavor: 5
• Patty: 4
• Toppings: 4
• Bun: 4
• Presentation: 4

You have until January 31 to sample as many of the 37 burgers as you can.

After you've polished one (or more) off, don't forget to download the official app downtown – The DTSF Digital Passport - to cast your vote.

Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives in Sioux Falls

In June of 2020, Guy Fieri and his crew from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives came to Sioux Falls and made quite a stir.

In case you've never been lured into an hours-long binge of the show on Food Network, Guy Fieri visits places off the beaten path and tries out their signature dishes and visits with locals.
