Famous Pub Burger, McGinty Burger and Belfast Burger (l-r)
There’s beauty in the flexibility of a hamburger. While traditionalists stick to their all-beef patties, cheese, tomato and lettuce, innovators push the boundaries with deliciously peculiar ingredients and toppings. Most of the restaurants that chose to participate in this year’s Milwaukee Burger Week fall into the latter category. These burgers run the gamut with traditional beef, lamb and even a plant-based “impossible” patty. Toppings include kimchi, Tzatziki sauce and brisket. And with 12 participating restaurants, you could try a new one (or two…or three…) every day.
Burger Week kicks off with a party on Monday, May 14, at presenting sponsor Mulligans Irish Pub & Grill (8933 S. 27th St., Franklin), and most importantly, participating restaurants will donate $1 to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin for every specialty burger sold during the week.
