There are holidays and commemorative days, and there are weird days, and even strange months. May is one of those. It’s not that there’s an inordinate amount of unusual happenings. It’s just that officially speaking, the fifth month of the year has a couple of real winners:
9th Lost Sock Memorial Day
24th Tiara Day
Certainly May the Fourth Be With You is awesome and so is Hamburger Day May 28th, but did you know that May is also our de facto Hamburger Month.
A hamburger is not an easy dish to make. Deceptively simple, this classic comfort food can go sideways quick and there are key factors to the success of a real good handheld. You’ll know it instantly upon the first bite.
We confidently invite you to enjoy the fine selection of burgers our neighbourhood has to offer. The variety is immense and the flavours, memorable.
In honour of Hamburger Month, come celebrate all that is wonderful about this fantastic bit of nosh. Here’s a plateful of solid recommendations on where to get a great burger in Gastown. Long may the pickles be in your favour!
