On one hand, I totally think “food holidays” are getting out of control. On the other, I do love an excuse to chow down on some of my favorite foods. Plus, with national food holidays come national food deals, and that is something I can get behind.
Fittingly, today marks National Hamburger Day, which is perfectly timed as we head into prime grilling season. Many of our favorite chains are offering freebies and deals to celebrate the unofficial start of summer—and maybe some of these burgers will give you inspo the next time you fire up that grill.
