Newcastle's first Battle of the Burger was held at The Tyne Bar this weekend.
"We expected to sell 2,500 burgers across the whole weekend," said Danny Hughes, organiser of the Battle of the Burger. "But on Friday alone we did 1,500."
The voting process was simple.
And competition was high.
There was only one option for complete fairness: I had to head along to the battle and try each burger.

The burger, by Quay Ingredient's Simon Snowball, was unique in that his meat wasn't beef.
12:45pm – Burger 2: Lola Jeans
Matt Stephenson and the rest of the team at Lola Jeans bellowed out each order at the top of their voice to psyche out their opponents.
