Just ketching up on your national food holidays before the summer season officially begins?
We'll wager that the ketchup-topped celebrations are catching your eye, nose, and various hankerings, including the flavorful festivity that arrives near the end of May each year.
It's National Burger Day we speak of, a foodie favorite that sizzles on May 28, which, yes, is a Saturday in 2022. (And Saturday, of course, is the burger-iest day of the week, or at least the time when people tend to break out the barbecue tongs in greater numbers.)
But wait: All of May is National Burger Month, and a number of places launched their deals early, including The Habit Burger Grill, which is giving Habit Burger Grill app members a complimentary Charburger, all May long.
