The event is to be held from 5 to 7 p.m. and pre-registration is required.
“It’s going to be a fun grill out,” said Elizabeth Zigmont, spokesperson for Blue Back Square.
She said they are happy to support CT Foodshare, which supports those in need.
All full-service restaurants at Blue Back Square, including Gran Gusto, Rosa Mexicano, The Place 2 Be, Vinted, and World of Beer, will present their own signature slider burger, in hopes of winning the big one, “People’s Choice for Best Burger.”
Guests will get a “passport” to visit the sites outside.
Julie Nosal, manager of Rosa Mexicano, said their burger – still being tweaked as of Friday – will have a Mexican flair.
So far their burger is topped with American cheese, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, chipotle aioli.
“We think it’s fantastic,” Nosal said. “Everyone brings to the table a unique burger.”
Zigmont said some others include a brunch burger topped with with fried egg, avocado, lettuce, tomato onion and another topped with brisket, Applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion on a brioche bun.
Kilwins will pass out free samples of their mini waffle hot fudge sundae.
