July 20, 20179 yr The best burger joints in town aren't even on the list, although I assumed that would be the case.
July 20, 20179 yr Author The best burger joints in town aren't even on the list, although I assumed that would be the case. Most of them apparently wanted to wait and see how things went for the participating locations this year, and have every intention of participating next year if it goes well. I know Hammerheads, Game, Grind, Mussle & Burger Bar, and Sidebar were all among those. Judging from the number of places that are participating in the Cincinnati Burger Week this week, I would assume at least a couple of those spots will appear on the list in Louisville next year. There are over FIFTY spots participating in Cincinnati's Burger Week this week!
July 20, 20179 yr Lexington just had they're 3rd annual burger week July 10th-16th. The first year I think there were 18 restaurants participating. This year there were 46. It's a big thing here.
July 20, 20179 yr I'd rather have a Bambi Burger or Granville Burger (with cheese fries) over any of these.
July 20, 20179 yr The best burger joints in town aren't even on the list, although I assumed that would be the case. That's what I was thinking.
July 21, 20179 yr I am in. Of course, since they are who I won my Forecastle passes from, I better be. But seriously, I'm in. I plan to hit up 8up, Molly's Highlands, Sullivan's and Red Herring for sure. Still not sure I can squeeze in any more. LOL. That's a lot of burgers for me in one week.
July 19, 20197 yr Author Lousiville Burger Week is back. I'm getting excited about it seeing the burger photos popping up on social media. It runs from July 22 to 28 at all the locations listed, and each burger is $5 a piece. Each restaurant commits to having at least 100 of their $5 burgers available each evening, and when their nightly supply runs out, the deal is over for the night.

July 19, 20197 yr That one from Butchertown Social is the one that leaps out at me. ...but anything involving the Dundee Dip gets my attention. I spent entirely too much time between there and Shenanigans in my 20s.
July 19, 20197 yr I take the fact that Mussel and Burger Bar never participates as "we're better than this." :lol2: And I'm okay with that, because they are.
July 19, 20197 yr Author I take the fact that Mussel and Burger Bar never participates as "we're better than this." :lol2: And I'm okay with that, because they are. A little bird told me that Mussel & Burger Bar doesn't participate because they don't want to draw attention to the fact that they advertise (or at least at one time did advertise) using Kentucky Proud certified beef, when they actually don't. This whole event is put on by the Kentucky Beef Council, so the offerings listed as locally sourced and Kentucky Proud better have the paperwork to back that up. Similarly, Game doesn't participate in this because even though their entrees are 90% burgers, they don't offer many beef burgers to begin with...and their beef isn't local.
