What Is National Burger Day and When Is It?

A taste of heaven between two buns… that sounds like a burger! According to all sources, it’s unclear exactly why the 26th of August dons the title “National Burger Day”, but let’s not complain about the lack of historical clarity and focus on what’s important on this delicious food day: it’s an excuse to grab a burger!

If you’ve missed this glorious day don’t fret…. as if anyone ever really need an excuse to eat a delicious burger.

Origins of the hamburger

The hamburger is an icon of American fast food, but its origins might surprise you. From the military camps of Genghis Khan, to German steamships entering New York harbour, the humble burger has a pretty wild history.

How to celebrate National Burger Day in the office

Having burger catering come into the office is fun enough in itself, but if you’re looking to celebrate national burger day, an employee birthday or even just have some fun, here are some excellent ideas to inspire you, get the whole office involved and get you that greasy fix!

1. Burger naming contest

You read that right! Why not hold a contest on national hamburger day (or whenever the craving strikes) to see who can come up with the craziest burger names? Better yet, you could vote on the best burger idea and actually cook it! It’s a great way to get the whole office involved and can help build connections with each other.

2. Bring a burger

Have everyone in the office bring a burger to work or take a photo of their crazy burger creation for national burger day. If you wanted to go one step further, you could ask them to prepare one using ingredients from their cultural background to make for an interesting mix.

3. Try a dessert burger

A growing food trend is the dessert burger, and there’s no reason why the office can’t hold an afternoon social with these on a platter. Fancy Nutella, ice cream, popping candy and mars bars between two brioche buns? Pack all of your favourites into this fun-tastic burger experience.

4. Hold a slider party

By this stage, we have established everyone loves burgers. So why not grab some mini burgers for your staff lunch! Everyone gets to sample a few different burger styles, from crispy chicken burgers to classic bacon cheeseburger, along with some chippies and salad.‍

5. You can make friends with salad

Sides are just as important as the burger itself. Whether you’re opting for classic fries and pickles, or some delicious and fresh salads, make sure there’s a nice range of options for people to choose from.  

6. Don’t forget the vegans and veggies

So what if you’re vegetarian or vegan and want to enjoy an all-American hamburger? No problem. These days, the options are endless!
