Snapshots From The Feedbag Burger Summit

The first annual Feedbag Burger Summit took place yesterday in Summit, New Jersey, and while a storm of biblical proportions—replete with golf ball-sized hail, 50 miles per hour winds, and horizontal rain—pummeled the outdoor event, it was a success none the less. The extraordinary weather conditions only temporarily doused the flames of the grills and had no effect on the spirit nor the hunger of the sold out crowd. Here are some photos from the event.
