On a November Saturday night, two men entered The Abbey Burger Bistro hungry for victory. One contestant: Andrew, a cook at a local Baltimore burger joint. The other: The man who made #StayHungry a catchphrase around the city, none other than Adam Jones himself.

Andrew was chosen among many others who entered the CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Fan Challenge. He tweeted a picture of his best handcrafted burger, confident that he could take down Jones in a burger-building contest. After seeing Andrew’s entry, Jones chose Andrew to battle him at Abbey Burger.

In the competition at Abbey Burger, Andrew chose a twist on a classic burger, piling fried jalapeños, bacon, caramelized onions and American cheese on his burger. On the other hand, Jones went unconventional, smothering his burger with peanut butter, among other ingredients.

In the end, the judges appreciated the eclectic, and Jones emerged on top with a close 2-1 vote, a moot point after everyone was digging into their burgers!

See how it all went down in the pictures and videos, hosted by MASN broadcaster Jim Hunter.
