Time Square turns International Burger Day into month-long celebration

Two restaurants offered four special burgers on the day: Barconator, Ringer, Cockadoodle Oink and Wagyu burgers.

To celebrate International Burger Day, Time Square has transformed the day into a month-long celebration with two of its local restaurants offering mouth-watering burgers.

The day is celebrated globally on May 28 every year and marks a celebration of the iconic and versatile burger.

It is dedicated to honouring the delicious combination of a juicy patty, fresh toppings, and a soft bun that has become a culinary staple around the world.

Sous chef Kgomotso Comfort Modise explained the meaning behind the day.

“We have realised that people love fast food, they want it fresh, tasty and well done; that is what keeps them coming for more.”

Burger enthusiast Gugu Hadebe acknowledged the celebration.

“It is a great concept, especially for burger lovers like me. My favourite burger is the baconater because I’m a lover of bacon. I’m a burger fan in general, and it’s mostly my first opinion meal,” she said.

She emphasised that Burger Day must remain an annual celebration.

“It is a great concept for burger lovers and it’s something to look forward to every year,” said Hadebe.

Another burger enthusiast, Lesego Mojela, echoed the same sentiments.

“As a burger lover, I hope events like this can be hosted more often. As much as it is international, it must be made more relevant for people to indulge in different burgers.”
