The "Legend Winner" burger from Madrid's Dalú Burger has won the Valencia stage of The Champions Burger — Smash Edition, which took place from July 1 to 12 at the Mestalla stadium. This marks the second consecutive victory for the restaurant, following their win at the Madrid stage just a few weeks ago.

The winning burger features a brioche bun, a smashed beef patty, and American cheddar, rounded out with grilled onions and a rich smoked bacon-based sauce.

Second place went to Madison from Zaragoza with their "Pink Paradise" burger. The team is currently leading the general standings of the tour, having previously won stages in Zaragoza, Logroño, Gijón, Barcelona, and Santander. Their Californian-inspired creation features a pink brioche bun with "Paradise" sprinkles, a smashed marbled beef patty, slow-cooked Iberian pork cheek, caramelized guanciale, aged cheddar, bacon bits, sour cream, and a signature Malibu sauce.

Rounding out the top three is the "Honey Mafiosa" burger from Madrid's Bandido's Burger, built on a potato brioche bun with a smashed veal patty, red cheddar, grilled cheese with honey, bacon jam, Texas-style onions, Bandidos sauce, and sweet chili.

The People's Choice Award went to the local Valencian favorite, El Poble, for their "Sugar Mommy" burger—featuring a toasted High Juanito bun, a marbled beef patty, melted cheddar, shredded ribs, bacon bits, signature Mommy sauce, and crispy pink bacon.

Following the Valencia stage, The Champions Burger — Smash Edition is heading to Valladolid, where the search for Spain's best smash burger will continue from July 16 to 26.
