Burger Love winner: The Cabbage Patch from The Home Place

Of the 60 P.E.I. restaurants that took part in April's 2015 Burger Love campaign, The Home Place Inn and Restaurant in Kensington was the big winner with The Cabbage Patch.

"Overwhelmed, seriously," said chef Glenda Burt, who created the burger, which received the most online votes of all the entries.

"I definitely did not expect this because I had heard there were so many great burgers out there and I felt we had a great burger as well, but I didn't think we would ever win."

She said the restaurant kept getting busier as the month progressed.

"I was, 'Wow, this is amazing.' So we were just really surprised and really, really happy with the outcome."

The burger consisted of six ounces of Island beef, barbonaise sauce, romaine lettuce, homemade cream cheese pesto, grilled pear slices, beer braised red cabbage with bacon and red onions, kettle chips on a grilled onion bun. It was garnished with dill and cherry tomato.

Islanders consumed one hamburger for almost every man, woman and child in the province through Burger Love.

A record-breaking 145,527 burgers were eaten across the Island from April 1 to 30.

The campaign also set a record with Guinness World Records, having broken the record for the most burgers sold in 24 hours — 9,037.

The total value of sales was more than $1.9 million.
