Rochester Burger Fans: Don’t Miss These National Cheeseburger Day Specials

A patty, two buns, and a slice of cheese, that's really all you need when it's done right. Toppings are just a bonus.

Some places take those toppings to the next level. King's in Miesville, for example, is famous for its creative combinations and has even been recognized for serving the best burger in Minnesota. In the Twin Cities, The 5-8 Club and Matt’s Bar have made the Juicy Lucy a rite of passage.

But when National Cheeseburger Day rolls around, you don’t have to travel far — or spend much — to get your fix. Several national chains are offering solid burger deals.

How Many Burgers Do Americans Eat Each Year?

Cheeseburgers are the ultimate comfort food and one of the most reliable options to order when eating out. According to PBS, Americans eat 50 billion burgers a year, which means the average person consumes 3 burgers a week.
