And most importantly, ALL proceeds benefit Love’s Kitchen.

This year means a little more to us as we celebrate the legacy of Ms. Fannie Johnson, who was such a huge part of Bud & Burgers year after year. We can think of no better way to honor her than by having a HUGE night for Love’s Kitchen and continuing to support the organization she cared so deeply about.

Mississippi has spoken! 🍻

Bud Light is officially Mississippi’s #1 favorite b**r, with Michelob ULTRA coming in at #2!

We may be a little biased, but we love seeing these two iconic Anheuser-Busch brands take the top two spots in the Magnolia State. And the love extends nationwide... Michelob ULTRA took the #1 spot nationally, with Bud Light right behind it at #2!

We’re proud to represent these brands across Mississippi and even prouder to see our consumers showing them some love!

We are absolutely heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend, Ms. Fannie Johnson.

Eleven years ago, when we decided to hold our very first Bud & Burgers event, we chose Love’s Kitchen as our charity partner. It was a brand-new event, and truthfully, we had no idea what to expect. But Ms. Fannie immediately jumped on board with us and helped every step of the way.

Every year since, she has been such a vital part of Meridian Bud & Burgers. She helped find volunteers to work the admission gate, showed up year after year to support us, and always made a point to visit every single cooking team to personally tell them how much she and Love’s Kitchen appreciated that they were there.

Fannie was such a big part of the reason we were always so proud to give back to Love’s Kitchen through Bud & Burgers. We knew the money would be put to good use helping people in our community, and no one was ever more genuinely appreciative at our check presentations than Ms. Fannie. A couple of years ago, she even surprised us with cookies she made shaped like hamburgers at the presentation. ❤️ Just an example of the kind of person she was.

If the words “servant heart” were ever made for someone, they were made for Ms. Fannie Johnson.

We will miss seeing her at Bud & Burgers more than we can say. But when we gather again this year, we’ll carry her spirit with us and remember exactly why this event and giving back to our community has always meant so much.

We are forever grateful for Ms. Fannie’s partnership, her friendship and the example she set for all of us. Meridian is better because of her, and so are we. ❤️

College football season is almost here, y'all! 🏈 We’re proud to announce that Bud Light is once again the Official B**r Sponsor of Mississippi State Athletics! 🍻🎉

From tailgates to touchdowns, we’ll be there every step of the way.

Cheers to good times, great games, and unforgettable Saturdays in Starkville!
