Pencil This In: Yelp's Burger Binge Week

By Lisa White in Food on Nov 19, 2013 6:45PM

To celebrate the half way mark of National Burger Month, the folks at Yelp are giving you the opportunity to indulge in $5 burgers all week long around Chicago. Their "Burger Binge Week" might have an unfortunate name but tasty results. The only catch is you have to download their Yelp app and "check in" to receive the promotional price. It is a slight annoyance but well worth the amount of meat and cheese you could eat during this week alone.

Until November 23 you have a variety of offers to choose from. Head here for the full list of restaurants participating and the burgers they will be offering. We see a lot of bacon (in numerous forms), cheese curds, chorizo, fried eggs and Merkt's on the list. Even an option with blood pudding. Throw cholesterol caution to the wind this week and enjoy some prime meat.

If you have an event for inclusion in "Pencil This In," please contact Tankboy (for A&E-related listings), Anthony (for tastings, dinners and food and drink-related events) or tips[at]chicagoist[dot]com.
