With the reopening of indoor dining now firmly on the horizon and food service finally starting to show signs of returning to some degree of normality, the hunt for Ireland’s best burger has begun ahead of National Burger Day.
In support of the food service sector, Kepak’s fourth annual National Burger Day is encouraging people to have their say by voting for their favourite burger, while also showing some much-needed support for local food outlets and operators as they emerge from recent pandemic related closures.
Following a busy virtual celebration last year, National Burger Day will return on August 12 and promises to be bigger than ever this year - with outlets across Ireland once again battling it out for the coveted title of Ireland’s favourite.
To top it off, for every burger purchased and a photo shared online with the hashtag #nationalburgerday, a meal will be donated to Simon Communities across the country. More than 14,000 meals were donated in 2020 as part of the campaign.
Hundreds of Irish food businesses of all categories and sizes are set to take part in the search for Ireland’s best burger, from much-loved fast-food joints to family owned-pubs, hotels, and speciality burger restaurants.
Three Galway restaurants - Alvina’s Grill (Galway city ), Flannery’s Hotel (Galway city ), and Bia & Co (Claregalway ) - are among the outlets competing for the coveted title.
Voting is already under way and customers across the country have just over three weeks to cast their vote online through the dedicated website www.nationalburgerday.ie
Votes from across the country will be gathered and counted and Ireland’s Best Burger will be announced on National Burger Day, August 12. The event is sponsored by Kepak, and supported by Flipdish, Blenders, Coughlans, and Kilmeadan, with participating businesses all over the country marking the day by offering a buy one, get one free, exclusive offer on selected burgers.
