PINCHO Wins People’s Choice Award at Burgerliscious For An Unprecedented Eighth Time
Miami-born brand’s latest triumph comes with the G.O.A.T. Burger – available in all PINCHO stores through February
Miami, FL (RestaurantNews.com) PINCHO — the renowned Latin-inspired burger and kebab concept — has once again solidified its dominance at South Florida’s premier burger festival, Burgerliscious. The crowd-favorite brand secured its eighth People’s Choice Award, extending its winning streak and reinforcing its reputation as Miami’s go-to destination for innovative burgers. What’s more, PINCHO took home second-place honors in the Judges’ Choice category.
This year, the PINCHO team — led by Director of Culinary Adrian Sanchez and Co-Founder Otto Othman — took home the title with The G.O.A.T. Burger. As the greatest of all time, this burger features PINCHO’s signature beef blend topped with crispy fried goat cheese, dressed arugula, balsamic glaze, and a sweet and smoky fig and bacon jam — all served on a locally baked brioche bun. The latest award-winning burger is currently available in all PINCHO stores through the end of February.
“Winning an eighth People’s Choice Award at Burgerliscious is an amazing honor, and it speaks to the passion and loyalty of our amazing community,” said Otto Othman, Co-Founder of PINCHO. “At PINCHO, we’re always pushing boundaries with bold ingredients, and the G.O.A.T Burger is a testament to our commitment to delivering unforgettable flavor experiences.”
Famous for its mouthwatering burgers, kebabs (aka pinchos), fried cheese, and bowls, PINCHO quickly went from an insiders’ secret obsession to a popular local hot spot across South Florida.
Consistently capturing the hearts (and appetites) of families, food lovers and industry pros across the country, PINCHO has won accolades every year of its 15-year history. The Miami-born brand was honored as the first local Miami brand to ever win Burger Bash at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, competing against brands all over the country.
The brand has also taken its signature flavors beyond Florida. In 2023, PINCHO opened its first Houston location and now has four locations serving the area in the Lone Star State.
