Pasadena’s Cheeseburger week is back for its 3rd annual event from Jan 12-17th 2014. We all need one cheat meal from our New Year’s diet resolution, so make it a good one and indulge in a special Cheeseburger, only offered during this wonderful week in Pasadena.
Cheeseburger Week is held in honor of the ‘invention’ of the cheeseburger by one Lionel Sternberger, in 1924, at a restaurant called the Rite Spot. The week’s festivities will kick off at Dog Haus Biergarten on Jan. 11 with a slider eating competition … 6 minutes of slider eating bliss will unveil this year’s champion! If you haven’t tried their sliders, they are to DIE for! Only $1 each at Happy Hour from 4-7pm daily, how could you refuse?
Forty of Pasadena’s favorite restaurants, lounges and burger joints offer their signature burgers, some special creations and a deals during Pasadena Cheeseburger Week.
Again in 2014, you can vote for your favorites in the Cheeseburger Challenge. Who makes your favorite lunch counter burger? Who serves your favorite turkey burger? Who makes your favorite veggie burger? Who serves the best beverage with a burger? You decide during Cheeseburger Week, January 12th through January 17th.
