Amstel Light Burger Bash tickets available Oct. 24

Food on television always seems to look better than in real life, but for once you might actually get the chance to sink your teeth into burgers prepared by some of the most notorious chefs in the country and make your own judgment.

Tickets for the 2012 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival (Feb. 23-26) will become available next Monday, Oct. 24, according to a press release.

The 11th annual edition of the Festival will feature lots of events for different types of foodies. We are concerned with the Amstel Light Burger Bash, a gathering that brings together chefs like Bobby Flay, Geoffrey Zakarian and Michael Schwartz to see who shows superior burger-building craftsmanship.

Iron Chef Michael Symon’s burger with fried salami, provolone, shasha hot sauce and pickled onion claimed the People’s Choice award in 2011.

Tickets for this event go for about $250 per person in total and can be purchased online or via telephone at 877-762-3933.
