Check out some of the participating restaurants to grab your 'speciality' burger.

When I first came to this spot, I thought it was more American/Asian fusion. But, I quickly came to  learn it's alot more 'American' than I knew. This burger is out of this world! It's a quarter pound of beef called the "Mack Daddy" burger; topped with all the things that make burgers special.

Now THIS is what you called a 'Fried Bacon Burger' oozing with cheese and a special sauce. Yum! There are other burgers to enjoy like the Sprockefeller, Love America Style, Kick His Ass Seabass, and MORE! There are other types of food to enjoy if you're not a burger lover like some.

If you want a different bite to your burger, the 'Fat Franny' may be it! It's definitely not your average burger. How about your choice of a beef burger or crispy chicken sandwiched between two maple bacon donuts! And yes, I said donuts!!

If you want different and fancy when it comes to your burger, this might be the spot for you. All the burgers are handcrafted and chef-inspired. Take a chance on the wild side and try out the 'Fried Flounder' burger served on brioche bread.

Need I say more? The Local Charlotte is for those with a rather unique palate. A spaghetti burger anyone? No judgment here. There are sandwiches and burgers like the chicken club, blackened Caesar wrap, the gamecock, a spaghetti sandwich, and more! That spaghetti sandwich might be something crazy to think about and try!

Known for its Greek cuisine, French Quarter Restaurant doesn't discriminate. Why not have a hefty burger with all the trimmings, including jalapenos of course? They call it the "Dirty South" burger. They have other burgers that you could enjoy like mushroom cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger, or a plain ole classic burger!

It's Sunday, so change up your brunch menu and sink your teeth into the 'Tex Mex' burger topped with cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. And throw in a side of sweet potato fries. You can enjoy other burgers like mushroom and swiss burgers, veggie burgers, or a classic cheeseburger.

This family-owned and operated spot prides itself on good times, good people, and good food. Burgers for everyone! They have tons of burger options like the BBQ bacon burger, messy mushroom burger, cajun cheeseburger, veggie burger, and even a Crossfit burger.

Drum roll, please...introducing the 'Elotes Burger'! This is a 7-ounce burger patty topped with corn hummus and lettuce. A sure way to kick off 'Burger Week.' They've got loaded mac and cheese recipes, sandwiches, loaded waffle fries, and plenty of burger options. Get yourself a patty melt, the blue bayou burger, jack mac burger, or a pickle burger. That's right, pickle!

Known for its barbecue, Mac's Speed Shop can switch it up! They tout a mean chicken burger, too. Check out the 'Smoked Chicken' sandwich with jalapeno and cheddar. I'm sure you have heard of this spot so check them out, but you can also enjoy burger options like the triple patty daddy or the new patty melt burger.

Yes, this is a pub, but who says 'pubs' can't go upscale. If you want to upgrade your burger experience, check out the Swiss burger, 100% fresh ground beef, fried green tomato, topped with house-made pimento cheese.

Don't let this 'pub' fool you. The Tyber Creek Pub brings it not only with an assortment of beers, but burgers too. Like this 'Western Burger' made with everything 'burger'. That includes ground beef, bacon, onion rings and cheddar cheese to name a few.
