Novemburger 2017

www.novemburger.ca 

The time has come – Novemburger is back – and it’s more than just a funny pun! If you’ve been living in Hamilton for a while (possibly even if you haven’t), you will have already heard of Novemburger. The beloved month-long burger festival has been the talk of the town in Hamilton since their inception in 2014, and this year they’re going all out with a whopping 76 restaurants involved in the festival!

So how does it work? 

Basically, restaurants from all over the city (and the Burlington area) create a special hamburger for the month of November. You check the Novemburger site, pick your faves (because I don’t think you’re going to be able to get all 76, but hey, who am I to say?!), and test them out. A portion from every burger sale will go towards United Way, so you can feel good about filling up on burgs this month!
