NATIONAL BEEF BURGER DAY
If you hear a sizzle and your mouth begins to water, it just might be National Beef Burger Day! On May 28th and all summer long, there's no better time to enjoy a juicy beef burger. The day is all about kicking off the grilling season and honoring America's favorite grilling protein – beef!
#NationalBeefBurgerDay
A beef burger starts with real ground beef on a bun or between two slices of bread. And don't forget the toppings like cheese, onions, pickles, and condiments. Each one allows for the perfect customization – the mouthwatering possibilities are endless. Of course, some of us like ours double stacked, and others prefer them spicy. Add those seasonings, too, if you want. What's really important is what's in the middle - that delicious beef burger.

NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY
National Hamburger Day on May 28th wraps up National Burger Month and also ushers in the summer grilling season.
#NationalHamburgerDay
Hamburger. Seasoned ground beef, grilled, and placed between two slices of bread or a bun. We even top them with sauteed onions, peppers, pickles, sliced onions, or cheese. Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Any of these combinations create a modern American version of a hamburger.
The world's largest hamburger was 2,566 lb - 9 oz and achieved in Pilsting, Germany, on 9 July 2017.
Much controversy surrounds the origin of the hamburger. However, it most likely first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries. Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY
Fire up the grill and get some patties started. Will you add cheese and make it a double? There are so many options when it comes to our burgers these days, how do we even decide anymore? Some creative burger choices you might try are:

NATIONAL BRISKET DAY
Every year on May 28th, National Brisket Day celebrates one of the nine prime cuts of beef. Brisket comes from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal and when prepared correctly, renders both flavor and tenderness.
#NationalBrisketDay Brisket is a tough and relatively inexpensive cut of meat. While it requires some patience to cook brisket to tenderness, the reward is well worth the effort. Select a well-marbled cut of meat. The fat will keep the brisket moist and add flavor to the final product. Season it well and give it a dark sear. This will seal in the juices. Cook it slow and cook it long.
It can be cooked in the oven or over indirect heat over charcoal or wood. Many times oak, pecan, hickory, or mesquite is added to the other hardwoods to enhance the flavor. Brisket will be fork tender when it is fully cooked and is then served with or without a sauce.
If you have the grill fired up, go ahead and add some sweet corn and cauliflower, too. Both love the grill and they also complement brisket very well. There are plenty of recipes on the internet that will satisfy all sorts of tastes. Coleslaw and pasta salad also goes well with brisket. Add fresh fruit for this holiday. Depending on where you live, watermelon might be coming into season, but a fresh Waldorf salad would fit the bill, too.

However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped Thorpe of his medals after learning he had played minor-league baseball, a violation of the amateurism rule.
Thorpe would go on to play professional football and basketball proving once again that his abilities stretch from field to court and beyond.
In October 1982, the IOC added James Thorpe’s name to the list of 1912 crowned Olympic champions and delivered two replica medals to his family. However, the IOC noted that the official report of the games would not be modified.

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger today!.................
Soon to be replaced by National Bugburger Day if Schwab and his ilk have their way.
Also Taco Tuesday... And I’ve got leftover leg of lamb in the fridge. A burger and fries, maybe from In-and-Out sounds good today!
I always order mine to be “done well”.
Those 3 should all have their OWN special day......what a gyp. 😏
So, NOT National ‘plantburger’ day then.
Hamburger aficionados grind their own meat. I use either a #4.5 or #6 die/plate.
Nor BUG Burger Day................
Beef brisket should definitely have its own national day.
Eat beef, and say “phooey” to the climate nazis!
Unfortunately, beef is now usually more expensive than chicken or pork. That is deliberate, of course!
anyone try the specialty burgers made from things like ribeye, and prime cuts? Either my taste isn’t what it used to be, or the ones we tried just really didn’t have much flavor compared to regular hamburger
those that do can cook the burgers extra rare if they like0- I remember growing up we woudl cook scrambled hamburger and couldn’t wait for it to finish, and woudl eat it practically raw- Can’t do that today with store bought hamburger-

Back in the turn of the 20th century, beef was considered ‘the masses’ food and chicken was the preferred meat of the wealthy elites.....................
There is now a study done that shows that bison are ‘great for absorbing CO2 or something like that (I guess fro m what they eat?)- but of course they didn’t mention cows- cuz, you know, cows are evil burping fart factories whereas i guess bison never let loose with methane belching puffs of wind
