This Thursday it’s one of my favourite days of the year: National Burger Day!

A full day celebrating the might of the hamburger in all its glorious forms. To make it easier to appreciate the meaty goodness Mr Hyde partner with restaurants and bars all over the country for a 20% discount (go get your discount voucher).

The main event though is over in Canada Water, South London, in partnership with Street Feast at their Hawker House venue. 3,000 people, 17 different burgers and a whole lot of fun.

Last year I went along for the first time and experienced the one-off specials that had been created, alongside some of the best burgers London has to offer.

My favourites last year were a special from Nanban who brought along their Down-N-Out, an Asian take on the classic In-N-Out burger. It came with katsu sauce, hash brown, pickled ginger, it was as amazing as that sounds. Another favourite was the first photo in this blog – the guys at one of my favourite restaurants, Mac and Wild, were doing slider versions of their VeniMoo (one of London’s top burgers) with the beautiful venison patties.

I’m heading back on Thursday and can’t wait to get stuck into the burgers on this year’s menu. Which ones have you got your eye on?

There’s only a few tickets left so make sure you’re quick if you want to join me tucking into this!

If I still haven’t convinced you, here’s a video of what went down at last year’s event…
