Maple & Motor Battles it Out; Whiskey Dinner at Tate's

We're not entirely sure, but nonetheless, Maple & Motor's Jack Perkins is headed up to Chi-town this week to compete in a burger cook-off on Harvey's daytime talk show "for a chance to be crowned burger king and claim rightful ownership to Harvey's Golden Spatula." Win or lose, Perkins says he's "not going to cry like John Tesar." [CultureMap Dallas]
