Though our Senior Editor Matt Kettmann has spearheaded Burger Week since its beginning, he had to miss out on writing it this year while covering the wine harvest for Bitoque Wines in Bolivia. So, to help him out and make sure we still got you, our readers, all the juicy Burger Week details on time, our other Senior Editor Tyler Hayden stepped up to the plate — quite literally!
Last year, we called it a “Burger Bonanza” — our biggest yet — and we only weighed in at 24 restaurants. When our Marketing and Promotions Administrator Richelle Boyd told Hayden that there were going to be 35 participating restaurants this year, his eyes grew wide, and all he could say was, “This is huge.”
