My wife swears that I have a burger and shake radar installed somewhere in my head. She's not really wrong as I do have an uncanny ability to detect when there's a new burger and shake option nearby. I just learned of a new option in Maplewood, Missouri and it truly is a 'champ'.

Does the thought of classic cheeseburgers and smash burgers wet your appetite?

Feast Magazine shared the news of a recently-opened burger place in Maplewood, Missouri called Burger Champ. They reported that it's a new place from St. Louis food mastermind and Pizza Champ owner Chris Kelling. It opened at Manchester Road and Sutton Avenue in Maplewood, Missouri at the end of 2023.

Show Me St. Louis visited and learned they have epic chicken sandwiches, too.

I was looking at the Burger Champ menu and they offer burgers, non-burgers and even salads. There's a "build-your-own" burger option, too.

I have many friends who love new food places to investigate when they travel to St. Louis for Cardinals or Blues games and this place appears to be open Tuesdays through Sundays according to their official site. I appreciate the fact that the owner lives in Maplewood and wanted his own local neighborhood place and made it happen.
