Flippin Legends, Nate, Kyle and Devon from Corus Radio London, 2026 Ambassadors

Flippin’ Legends

Meet Nate, Kyle and Devon from Corus Radio London! They spend their days talking for a living, so naturally, they’ve decided to spend November with their mouths full instead. They’re ready to put their appetites to the test and find out which London burger deserves the crown! 🍔🎙️

Chris Costello, 2026 UBB Ambassador

Chris Costello

A Western grad and seasoned entrepreneur, Chris Costello has called London home for 25 years: building a life filled with real estate ventures, theatre outings, and an endless hunt for the city’s best burgers- the research is still ongoing. When Chris and his partner Chris (yes, same name) are not travelling or catching shows at the Grand, they’re eating their way through London’s food scene. As a realtor specializing in helping millennials upgrade their life, Chris brings professionalism, humor, and a genuine passion for helping clients find their perfect fit—all while quoting early 2000s movies.

Dave Drew, 2026 UBB Ambassador

Dave Drew

Known to his followers as Big Dave, Dave Drew is the creator behind The Worst Food Review Channel. The Londoner reviews local restaurants and everyday eats with a dedication to complete honesty. There’s no marketing fluff here, just a direct answer on whether the food is worth your time and money. Over years of filming, Dave’s unfiltered approach has built a loyal community of over 120,000 followers across YouTube and Instagram who rely on him to tell it exactly like it is.

Nini, 2026 UBB Ambassador

Nini

Nini is a Panama-born journalist and the solo voice behind @local.voices, where she spotlights the people, places and small businesses that make London, Ontario special. From weekly event highlights to a new series eating her way through follower-recommended restaurants, she believes a city gets stronger when we show up for each other. Nini is bringing her curiosity, honest opinions and a very open mind (and stomach) to the Ultimate Burger Battle, because good food for a good cause is her kind of team effort. 🍔🌻

Team Rozo, Gerry Rozo and his daughter Bella, 2026 UBB Ambassadors

Bella Rosa is a London alt-pop artist under the Symphonic label who has been writing songs and eating burgers since a very early age!

Brent Shea

Brent Shea is a Platoon Chief Manager with the London Fire Department, where he has built a career centered on leadership, public safety, and community service. Passionate about supporting local initiatives and strengthening community connections, Brent enjoys discovering the people, places, and businesses that make London unique.

Dan & Kristen Summerhayes, 2026 UBB Ambassadors

Dan & Kristen Summerhayes

This couple knows burgers! As the People’s Choice Winners of last year’s Ultimate Burger Battle, Dan & Kristen have moved on from House Craft Burgers as a brick and mortar operation but are still eager to support the event! House will make a comeback with local pop-ups in spring 2027, and Kristen coaches and trains runners as the owner of Soul Runners. Having been on the other side of the competition, they know the work behind every entry, and they’ll judge with a chef’s eye and a fan’s appetite.

Kim Tetley eating her 2026 burger from Bear & Frankies

Kim Tetley

Kim is used to bringing people together to tackle big challenges. But this November, she’s taking on a particularly delicious mission: finding London’s ultimate burger! She believes better is possible when we work together, and that great things can happen when the community comes together over good food. She’ll be cheering on local restaurants, and helping turn great food into greater impact for our community. The stakes are high, the napkins are ready, and Kim is hungry for a winner! As a leader, Kim is all about making an impact, but when it comes to burgers, the top thing on the agenda is a seriously good bite!

Christine Quinlan, 2026 Ultimate Burger Battle Ambassador

Christine Quinlan

The self-proclaimed Burger Queen is back, and she’s ready for another delicious reign!
