National Hamburger Day – Celebrate Accordingly!

It’s a very special day for food lovers.  Today is National Hamburger Day – Celebrate Accordingly!  Whether you haven’t had a burger in a while or just love the taste and can’t get enough, let’s take a look at some interesting facts about the delicious sandwich – Chow down on one as you read along!

The hamburger is a glorious creation.  And so simple too!  It’s a patty of beef sandwiched in between a bun (usually) with cheese placed on top if you so desire and some fixings if that’s your pleasure too.  And that’s really it.  Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some places with some phenomenal burgers that have all sorts of unique toppings, but you don’t even need all that for it to taste good!

Burgers are grilled up and cooked throughout homes across our great nation almost every day and I think it’s because they’re so easy to make.  I mean Americans consume more than 40 billion burgers a year.  Yep, 40 billion…….that’s a lot.

Some other interesting facts include the following:

I prefer my burger with cheese and bacon.  However don’t get me wrong……sometimes you just want to focus on the taste of the meat, so a plain burger with nothing on it is perfect to help you appreciate the all beef patty.

We also all have our favorite burger joints to pick up one of these delicious sandwiches.  There’s special restaurants, diners, and burger shacks that all serve some amazing ,tasty, burgers.  But what about the chains?  Which do you prefer?

Yelp just published its list of the Top 25 Burger Chains in America – Here’s a look at the places that made the Top 10:

Whether you plan on hitting up your local burger spot or just want to grill up some patties at home, today is the perfect day to make your dinner a beef-filled one.  Enjoy!
