Ready to take a bite out of Burger Week? This juicy summer event will run from July 19 through July 28, 2024. Polk County Burger Week is an opportunity for local restaurants to showcase their best burger offerings. The inaugural Polk County Burger Week boasts over 50 participating restaurants with burgers from Andy's classic diner style to Nineteen61's elevated gourmet take on the classic.
Brought to you by Visit Central Florida and Destroyer Media & Marketing, Burger Week is a way to support local restaurants and promote the Polk County culinary scene during summer. Later this month, all participating Burger Week restaurants will offer a Value Burger—a hamburger with a side combo for $11.99 or less—or an Inventive Burger, a unique or gourmet burger without a specific price point.
"Burger Week is taking the "restaurant week" concept and focusing on burgers. Who doesn't love a burger? For roughly one week in July, we will partner and promote Polk County Burger Week. We ask participating restaurants to be inventive and creative, do something fun with a specialty burger, or create an affordable one. It's an easy way to support local, have a burger, and try something new," said Destroyer Media and Marketing Partner and Publisher, Chris Sexson.
"Polk is not yet known as a foodie destination, but that is changing. Summer has traditionally been a slow month for restaurants. Burgers, grills, summer, what better time to have burger week than July? The goal is to create an annual event that invites locals to try something new, have a burger, and find their new favorite spot. The more you know, the more you'll go. You will have 50+ burger spots to keep you busy exploring all year long," said Sexson.
Expect even more from Burger Week in the years to come. Visit Central Florida and Destroyer Media and Marketing plan to bring this event back every summer, expanding offerings and trying out fun new things in future years. "The more we can do to support restaurants, the better. To do your part, you just need to go out and have a burger at Polk County Burger Week! Our local restaurants thank you!" said Sexson.
