From now until December 15th, establishments are invited to apply to the Heinz Selection initiative. In January and February 2025, participating burger houses will have the opportunity to craft a signature burger featuring selected Heinz sauces. These unique creations will be evaluated by a panel of food experts and a local renowned chef. A dedicated videographer on-site will develop tailored social media assets for each venue.

Through this competition, we are excited to support independent burger houses by providing exclusive privileges and benefits. This initiative not only celebrates the best burger houses but also guides consumers to the best culinary experiences.
Alongside having the chance to showcase their unique burgers at a major food festival in Dubai, burger houses can enjoy increased visibility, media exposure, chef support, co-branded materials and access to Heinz’s latest sauce innovations. Participating Heinz Selection establishments will also get a chance to reap the rewards of the customer loyalty program, aimed at driving traffic to the burger houses. This initiative not only serves as a powerful platform for local burger houses to gain international recognition but also highlights the rich creativity of the UAE’s best burgers landscape.
