It’s National Hamburger Day, it’s Memorial Day weekend, which means a burger definitely needs to make its way onto your plate.

The toughest part will be deciding which of these three — but hey, it’s a three-day weekend, right?

The elevated classic

It’s not exactly new anymore — but if you haven’t been out too much in the past year, it will be. Minervas added the Morgan Ranch burger to the menu in 2020, and it has become a guest favorite.

Add your choice of aged cheddar, Danish bleu or Lorraine Swiss, and bacon if you choose. It’s served with french fries or sweet potato fries.

The ranch burger

Grille 26’s ranch burger is the choice if you love to customize.

It’s served with aged cheddar, house barbecue, applewood bacon and haystack onions.

From there, you can add a fried egg, roasted red onion or sauteed mushrooms. It’s an 8-ounce burger hand-pattied daily, served with your choice of fresh fruit, coleslaw, cottage cheese or fries. Or you can substitute a side salad.

The limited edition

And now, the finale. There are burgers, and then there’s the “Wake Me up in Paris” burger.

Served at Morrie’s Steakhouse, with limited availability — you’re about to see why — this truly redefines the meaning of a burger.

Start with a custom Morgan Ranch beef Wagyu patty. Add American cheese, surround it in “liquid gold” demi-glace and top it with a Breadico rosemary garlic bun.

And we’re not done yet. It’s served with bechamel fries.

Because, how else would a Paris burger serve pommes frites?
