10. You will be in one delicious heaven:  36 teams will be going bun-to-bun in this year’s competition of burger one-upmanship. They’ll have an incredible range of wild and crazy creations WITH SLIDERS YOU CAN SAMPLE!

9. Eating options for everyone:  if you’re not into burgers, there will be food trucks with other fare.

8. Awesome temps are forecast for tomorrow – it’s a great excuse to spend the day outside.

7.  New location! This year, the fest is at the Liberty Bowl’s Tiger Lane, so there’ll be plenty of parking and elbow room.

5.  Lots of different kinds of fun to be had, including a slider eating competition, cornhole tournaments, and live music.

1.  Proceeds and donations for tasting samples go to a GREAT cause:  Memphis Paws.  Memphis Paws is a non-profit dedicated to rescuing and improving the quality of life of dogs and cats.
