May is National Hamburger month and May 28th is National Hamburger day, which makes sense because Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer and the biggest time for barbecuing those burgers.
When you think of American cuisine the first thing that comes to mind is the Hamburger. Therefore, it’s only right to have not only a day but a month dedicated to the delicacy.
In celebration of National Hamburger Day, Li’l Woody’s on Capitol Hill is giving away the American favorite for free, but only from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday. If you are the type who likes a little extra on your burger it’s going to cost a little extra. The deal offers the simple old fashioned hamburger, one per customer.
There are also many other options to get a burger fix. Seattle has a wide variety of burgers with big flavor for those with big appetites.
Red Mill Burgers is just one example of all the city has to offer. It has been voted as having the best burgers in town by Seattle Weekly. Oprah has said that it’s “one of the 20 hamburgers you must eat before you die.” With nearly 20 burger options, you’re sure to find your favorite.
With five locations in the Seattle area, Dick’s Dive-In is great for those who don’t have time to sit down and eat. Don’t be fooled by the low prices. The price doesn’t mean it has no flavor. Esquire Magazine has crowned it the “most life-changing burger in America.”
If these don’t spark your interest there’s always another way: the do-it-yourself burger. Many people are starting to skip the pre-made patties and restaurants altogether for home-made burgers that are tastier and healthier.
