"national burger month" news and stories

Given that we are un-confirmedly in the midst of National Burger Month, it is my duty to bring to you, Slashfoodies, a whole buffet of burgers. Today, super-NYC Gothamist takes us to Landmarc, a new restaurant in the Time Warner Center.

Gothamist Robyn (who also writes her own blog The Girl Who Ate Everything) reports on a medium rare burger on a grilled, salt-sprinkled brioche bun that made her feel like she "might explode from the intense meat density of the juicy, but not overly so, patty." If you need photographic evidence of the meat intensity, click through and take a peek at her close-up shots of the burger.

And if you have a good tip about a burger this month, let us know!

Unlike National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month, I have not been able to find any "official" information about May being National Burger Month from, say, the National Burger Board, but you know what? Who cares?!?! If it's just by word-of-mouth, and uber-burger blog A Hamburger Today is acknowledging it, then so are we! Besides, there's no reason not to celebrate burgers every day for a month (except perhaps a battle with the waistline).

So expect a few burger posts or more from us here, and to get us started, let us know how you like your favorite burger!
