National Cheeseburger Day is here: 20 ways to celebrate

National Cheeseburger Day is Thursday, and burger joints across the country have special plans to celebrate the occasion. From a 10-lb. burger in Ohio to a secret special recipe, here are 20 ways to honor National Burger Day.

National Cheeseburger Day is back Thursday, Sept. 18, 2014.

Every day is a good day for a burger, of course, but today is National Cheeseburger Day. Like my birthday, this isn’t being celebrated universally, but many burger joints have special plans to honor the day. Among them:

Bar 145 in Toledo, Ohio, will serve a 10-lb. Americana Burger that serves 20 to 25. Advance orders were required. For those with just one friend, Bar 145 also offers a buy-one-get-one on its Stack Your Own burgers.

The Fuddruckers chain has a challenge, too: Finish its 3–lb. burger and 1–lb. side of fries (with bottomless Coke, of course) in one hour and you’ll receive two free meals, one free t-shirt and “undeniable respect.”

Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar locations celebrate with a special $8 Combo: 1/3-lb. Backyard Burger, fries with Bad Daddy’s Sauce and a small Apple Pie Shake. As a special recognition of the day, Bad Daddy’s has agreed to share the recipe for its Buttermilk Fried Bacon with BurgerBusiness.com readers. Get it here.

The 80-location Wayback Burgers chain hosts its Triple Triple Burger Eating Contest. That’s its famous nine-patty burger. Whichever customer polishes off its famous nine-patty burger fastest today wins $3,330.

Is politics the new religion?

Chicago’s Rockit Bar & Grill is serving a special Double Black Angus burger with Gouda, Matilda Beer Mustard and bacon sauerkraut on a pretzel bun, served with house-made Yukon fries and curry ketchup for $13. Sister restaurant Botttlefork serves its signature Bottlefork Burger with fries and a house-made soda for $20.

Classic Cheeseburgers are just $5 all day at Philadelphia’s PYT.  While you’re there, you also might want to sample PYT’s new Bacon Cheeseburger D’oh Nut. That’s a warm glazed donut filled with delicious bacon cheeseburger and topped with bacon sprinkles.

Burger Boss in Elmwood Park, Ill., is serving unlimited quantities of single patties with cheese for $3.90 each.

 Burgerville in the Pacific Northwest is going buy-one-get-one on its Pepper Bacon Cheeseburger all day.

Farmer Boys offers $1 Big Cheese burgers all day. Max & Erma’s has $5 Erma Burgers & $6 Max Burgers today

ROK:BRGR in Miami has $2 Sliders from 5 p.m. today until close.

The Burger 21 chain is using National Cheeseburger Day to build its database. Members of its email club, the B21 Club, get a free cheeseburger with the purchase of a burge, salad or hot dog from September 17 to 19.

Chicago’s M Burger is offering 2-for1 cheeseburgers for Zip Car members. Not a member? Visit www.zipcar.com/join and use promo code MBURGER14.

BurgerFi is celebrating by inviting diners to post a photo of their BurgerFi cheeseburger with a #BurgerFi hashtag through 9/24. Do so and you’re entered to win two tickets to the Packers-Dolphins game in Miami on 10/12.

Stillhouse Craft Burgers and Moonshine in Atlanta says the first 50 guests (21 or over) to purchase a burger starting at 5 p.m. today will receive a free burger a month for a year.

At Cheeseburger Bobby’s, it’s buy-one-get-one on its Classic Single or Double.

Hans Rockenwagner’s Los Angeles restaurants—Café Rockenwagner, 3 Square Café and Rockenwagner Bakery Café—are serving a special 8-oz. burger topped with Gruyère, caramelized onion, lettuce and tomato on a pretzel bun.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
