Bring your Appetite to Macon’s Burger Week

By: Hannah Lee Leidy

Macon Burger Week is back for its second year, presented by Visit Macon and the Georgia Beef Board. From September 16 to 22, you can get a taste of what makes Macon, Georgia, so special. Nineteen of Macon’s best restaurants will offer a signature $5 burger for the week—think quesadilla burgers, pizza burgers, and doughnut burgers.

Last year’s burger week brought hundreds of locals to participating restaurants, and at the end of the week, Ocmulgee Brewpub’s Juliette Burger was crowned the inaugural champion.

Pick up your 2019 Burger Passport and get stamps from each restaurant—five or more and you’ll be entered to win prizes in the Macon Burger Week sweepstakes. Head online to vote for your favorite and help name the 2019 champion.
