Whoop Di Do, Blue Moon Burger Bash is ready for you! The Festival’s most popular event is giving host Rachael Ray a one-year hiatus and stepping in to fill her shoes is A-list Superstar and co-host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg! Join Whoopi at the Tobacco Warehouse in DUMBO for a night full of burgers, Blue Moon Beer, rock-n-roll music, French-fried goodness, creamy milkshake sensations and seasonal pies. Twenty restaurants will compete with their best burger and side dish, hoping to stand out enough to take home the People’s Choice Award. Food Network’s own Duff Goldman will host a milkshake and pie bar for the ultimate in dessert indulgence and patrons will wash down award winning burgers with Blue Moon beer, the Belgian-style wheat ale served with a slice of orange.

Last year’s People’s Choice Winner, Food Network Chef Bobby Flay, representing his restaurant Bobby’s Burger Palace, will work to find a way to top his 2010 creation and vie for the people’s adoration or judges’ choice award. This night under the stars with a legendary New York view is one that should not be missed, unless you’re a vegetarian!

The Burger Buses are back, and better than ever! Delta Air Lines will whisk revelers back to Manhattan on our luxury Burger Buses, giving guests the opportunity to keep the party going on board while experiencing Delta’s signature hospitality. Simply grab a boarding pass from a Delta flight attendant, present it at the boarding gate, and prepare for departure to Manhattan. Seating on Delta Burger Buses is first come first serve.
