Sue & Ron "Bino" Lienau showing off Iowa's Best Burger OSSIAN, Iowa (KWWL) -- A northeast Iowa town with a population of less than 1,000 is home to Iowa's Best Burger in 2021. Bambino's in Ossian was named the winner of the Iowa Beef Council and Iowa Cattlemen's Association Best Burger contest this year. Submissions were taken from the general public, then narrowed down to 10 finalists based on an online vote. After that, three anonymous judges visited each restaurant, scoring the burger patties based on taste, doneness, and presentation. JUST ANNOUNCED: Bambino's in Ossian is awarded the 2021 Iowa's Best Burger! Trust in the judges’ taste buds and take a trip to Bambino's in the near future. https://t.co/QDxzOObccypic.twitter.com/fpn9aEoqWz— Iowa Beef Council (@iowabeefcouncil) May 3, 2021
