Our Beloved Burgers

Issue: April 2025

Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated 2025 Cashiers Burger Week, set to take place from April 26 through May 4 in Cashiers. This annual culinary celebration brings together local eateries and burger enthusiasts for a weeklong homage to the beloved burger.

What to Expect

During Cashiers Burger Week, participating restaurants will craft unique, limited-time burgers, each priced at an enticing $10. These specialty burgers are offered à la carte, with sides and beverages available for an additional cost. This event provides a fantastic opportunity to explore the diverse culinary talents within the Cashiers area, as chefs put their creative spins on classic and innovative burger recipes.

How to Participate

To join in the festivities, you’ll need a Burger Week Passport, which guides the participating restaurants and a record of your burger adventures. Passports can be picked up at the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce, 202 US-64 in Cashiers, starting mid-April. Alternatively, if you prefer the convenience of printing your passport at home, an online version will be available on the official Cashiers Burger Week website.

As you savor each burger, be sure to get your passport stamped at every location. Collecting stamps tracks your culinary journey and qualifies you to vote for the “Best Burger” and “Most Creative Burger” awards. To be eligible for prize drawings and have your vote count, you must visit at least three participating restaurants. Visiting five or more establishments earns you a bonus entry, increasing your chances of winning exciting prizes from local sponsors and restaurants.

Burger Week Etiquette

Participants are encouraged to:

Be Patient: Popular spots may experience high demand, leading to potential wait times or occasional shortages. Show appreciation for the hardworking staff, relax, and enjoy the community atmosphere.

Tip Generously: While the unique burgers are offered at a special $10 rate, they often represent higher-value creations. A gratuity of at least 20 percent is appreciated.

Support Local Businesses: Consider purchasing sides, beverages, or other menu items to show additional support for the participating establishments.

Share Your Experience: Document your burger journey and share it on social media using the hashtag #CashiersBurgerWeek. Engaging with the community enhances the overall experience and fosters local pride.
