This week delivered.
78,388 burgers sold. Over $624,000 driven straight into local restaurants—and into the hands of the people who needed the hours, the tips, and the paycheck.
That’s what Burger Week is all about.
“Burger Week works because people show up for their own,” said Mark Calitri, President & CEO of Visit Owensboro. “This isn’t about one winner. It’s about jobs, shifts, and real income for the people behind these restaurants.”
It’s not about one restaurant. It’s about every kitchen that stayed open late, every server who picked up an extra shift, and every team member who showed up ready to work.
That’s real impact.
Burger Week continues to grow as one of Owensboro’s most recognized community-driven events—led by Visit Owensboro in partnership with the City of Owensboro. Under the leadership of Mark Calitri, the focus remains simple: create events that deliver measurable results for local businesses and the workforce behind them.
This is what success looks like.
Not headlines. Not hype.
Jobs. Paychecks. Opportunity.
