OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — After a 9-day competition, the winners of the 2025 Owensboro Burger Week have been announced.

Throughout the week, a panel of burger experts taste test each entry to determine the overall champion. Previous winners include J’s Good Grub, Basil’s Food Truck and Windy Hollow Biscuit House.

The 2025 Burger Week winner is the “Smoked Pimento Cretzel Burger” from Niko’s Bakery and Café. This burger is served on a house-made combination of a croissant and a pretzel, with smoked pimento cheese, sweet picked peppers and fresh lettuce.

In 2024, a people’s choice award was introduced which allowed local foodies a chance to award their favorite burger in the competition. The first people’s choice winner was Kim’s Diner.
