The other day, I told you about Burger Month at BlackFinn Bethesda, and the custom grill you could win in the Burger Month contest.
Now, here is the actual grill you can win, a custom Samuel Adams grill. If you are a fan of the brewery, you'll definitely want to enter this very easy contest.
Burger Month is back at BlackFinn Bethesda at 4901 Fairmont Avenue.
Burger Month starts with a special Happy Hour this Friday, from 5:00-7:00 PM. It will run through July 28, 2013.
There will be 4 featured burgers: Elvis Burger, Sam's Bacon Jam Burger, Natch-Yo Burger, and Pepperoni Pizza Burger.
Take a picture of yourself eating one of these burgers on any or all days during Burger Month, and then tweet the photo or post it on Instagram, using the hashtag #BFburgermonth.
You could win a $500 grill, or $100/$50 BlackFinn gift cards. As I mentioned, you can do this daily during the contest period.
