Eight years and hundreds of thousands of burgers later, Le Burger Week with Cheese is now one of the best-known food festivals in Canada. And this year, it’s back with plenty of new and delicious flavours. It’s getting hot in here…and not just on the grill!
- Enjoy a delicious burger and help a good cause! The biggest news about Le Burger Week with Cheese 2019 is its partnership with La Table des Chefs, an organization whose mission is to feed people in need and develop culinary education for youth so that they can eat well and make smart choices, even on a limited budget. In 2019, $1 from every burger sold at participating restaurants in Quebec will be donated to La Table des Chefs. All the more reason to try one, or several! We are delighted that we have the opportunity to support this organization, said Thierry Rassam, co-founder of Le Burger Week with Cheese with his friend and business partner Na’eem Adam. It’s an opportunity for judges and food lovers alike to help reduce food insecurity and provide education to youth across Quebec.
- During Le Burger Week with Cheese, participating restaurants must bring their A-game to create a new, unique burger that reflects the essence of their establishment. How could we forget The Jerry Louis from La Brasserie des Rapides in LaSalle, or the magnificent shrimp on rye Ebi Matane from the Centre Sheraton Montreal? The participating restaurant’s creations will be available to the public, who can then vote for their favourites at Leburgerweek.com. There are awards for the best-looking burger, the healthiest burger and the most creative burger in each participating city. In addition, a jury of undercover tasters will help award the Judges Choice title.
