Have a burger..help a Wounded Warrior! How and where..read on!


Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Restaurants Celebrate National Hamburger Month Throughout May!

While National Hamburger Month may not be a Federally recognized holiday, it certainly is one that is gaining notoriety amongst burger lovers.  It’s suggested that each American consumes, on average, 3 hamburgers every week.  With songs, movies, books and more dedicated to the amazing sandwich, it’s no wonder the American food staple seems to grow in popularity year after year.  In honor of National Hamburger Month, Jimmy Buffett’s restaurants nationwide will be celebrating all things burger throughout the month of May.

Margaritaville will offer their guests an array of beefy May specials from weekly specialty burgers created by Margaritaville Chefs across the country to Facebook “Meat-Ups” inviting their Facebook fans to come in for unique offerings and giveaways.  In addition to celebrating the beloved sandwich, Margaritaville will show its appreciation and support for US Servicemen and Women throughout May. Starting May 1st, Margaritaville will donate $1 for each specialty burger sold to the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team.  And on May 19th, in observance of "Armed Forces Day," Margaritaville will donate $1 for EVERY burger and cheeseburger sold in its U.S. restaurants to the Wounded Warrior Project.

 “This year, we thought let’s not just celebrate an American favorite, but also our favorite Americans, the servicemen and women who make it possible for us to enjoy this fun tradition.” says Margaritaville’s Tamara Baldanza.

THE SPECIALTY BURGERS:
Each Margaritaville restaurant submitted a new Specialty Burger recipe on Facebook where fans could go online and vote for the most delicious sounding burger. Out of the 14 chef submissions, 5 were chosen by Facebook fans with the voting ending on April 15th.  Thousands of votes were cast and the five winning burgers will be featured across Margaritaville restaurants nationwide for one week during the month of May.  The Specialty Burgers are:

The Derby Burger
Offered: April 30th – May 6th
From the kitchen of Margaritaville Myrtle Beach, the 7 oz burger is covered with crumbled Bacon, hard-boiled Egg, diced Avocado, crumbled Bleu Cheese, Thousand Island Dressing and topped with Lettuce and Tomato.  The Derby Burger will certainly be a photo finish.
