DULUTH, Ga. | The 10th annual Burger Week is on the horizon for Gwinnett County. Sponsored by Explore Gwinnett, it will be March 17-23 this year, inviting burger lovers to enjoy exclusive, chef-crafted creations for just $10 at 23 locally owned restaurants across the county.
Lisa Anders, chief operating officer of Explore Gwinnett, explains: “We are proud to celebrate a decade of Gwinnett Burger Week and the incredible talent of some of our very best local chefs. What started as a way to highlight locally owned eateries has grown into a great tradition, and we cannot wait for the community to see what we have in store for them this year!”
Throughout the week, each of 23 participating restaurants will feature an exclusive, off-menu burger. A few highlights include:
- “That’s My Jam” at Old Fountain Tavern, a juicy patty piled high with creamy Fontina and Gruyère cheeses, crispy bacon, balsamic onion jam, fresh arugula, and finished with sun-dried tomato mayo on a toasted brioche bun.
- “The GW Feature Burger” at Good Word Brewing and Public House, a four-ounce beef patty topped with horseradish cheddar cheese, house-cured bacon bits, crispy jalapeños, sliced sweet onion and boiled peanut mayo on an Alon’s Bakery bun.
- “Birria Crunch Smash Burger” at Jose’s Birria and Burgers, one smashed burger patty with provolone cheese, topped with tallow onions, a crunchy corn tortilla, beef birria and a cilantro chimichurri mayo on a brioche bun.
Back for its second year, the Gwinnett Burger Week Digital Pass encourages diners to check in at participating restaurants and earn points throughout the week, which are redeemable for prizes. Each check-in is worth one point. Points can be redeemed for exclusive Gwinnett Burger Week merchandise from Explore Gwinnett, including restaurant gift cards, T-shirts, totes, sticker packs and a special edition 10th-anniversary burger sticker designed by Lawrenceville-based artist Max Eve in celebration of this milestone. Diners can also vote for their favorite burger by uploading an image of their receipt to the Gwinnett Burger Week website.
Participants who track their dining experience at 10 or more restaurants throughout the week will be inducted into the Gwinnett Burger Week Wall of Fame with their photo published on Explore Gwinnett’s website.
“Our 10th anniversary milestone reflects the passion and creativity of Gwinnett County’s culinary community and the enthusiasm of all those who make this event a success year after year,” said Anders. “We can’t wait to indulge in the exclusive $10 burger creations ourselves, as we toast to 10 years of one of our favorite events!”
