Other details: This year, Bobby Flay took home the people's choice award for his green chile burger. The burger, which Flay named after his New Jersey restaurant, Bobby's Burger Palace, consisted of a "crunchified" beef burger with queso sauce, green chile pickle relish and a side of potato chips. Guy Fieri's burger station aboard Carnival Cruise line's fleet, took the people's third top choice, and Michael Symon took second place. The judges, however, picked a different winner altogether, voting for Jeff "The Sandwich King" Mauro's burger as their first place winner.
