And that was true with the winners: J. Marks, which won the overall judging, and Grateful Palate, which took home the people's choice award.

Grateful Palate won the people's choice with an
unconventional slider served between two tostones, slaw, and a conch patty. That tostone sandwich design may have helped, considering that those observing Passover can't eat bread. The table seemed to have the steadiest line at the event.

J. Mark's got the top prize with a burger of slow-cooked prime rib. It wasn't the fanciest burger, but it delivered the beefy flavor missing in some of the fancier sliders served by the 17 restaurants.

Taking second in the judging was Rare, which served a simple slider of short ribs that were slow-roasted, pulled, and tossed with a tangy barbecue sauce. D'Angelo took third with the oddest combination of the night -- a veal patty topped with smoked salmon, Brie, and pesto.
