National Hamburger Day

If you're in the 'mooood' for something nice and juicy, you're in luck. Today is National Hamburger Day, an annual "holiday" that celebrates the all-American burger! In fact, the event is so popular, it is celebrated twice a year!

Whether you prefer yours topped with all the trimmings, cradled between a buttery bun, smothered with ooey gooey cheeses or smokin’ off the barbecue , today’s holiday celebrates the classic American food staple – the burger.

Although this holiday celebrates the traditional hamburger, burgers can be made with a host of other products besides beef. In honor of National Hamburger Day, why not try one or two of the following gourmet burger recipes? And with the unofficial beginning of summer officially underway, it’s time to get your grill on!
