Everywhere You Can Get Free & Cheap Burgers for National Hamburger Day

Once again, National Hamburger Day is upon us, and it couldn't come at a better time. That is, it comes on a day when we as humans will eat food. 

It lands on May 28, tacked on toward the end of National Hamburger Month, which is similarly unnecessary in a country that eats as many burgers as the US. But, because we eat burgers, well, a food holiday like this is always welcome. Tons of restaurants across the country are going to be slinging burgers at a discount. You'll find deals at local restaurants, fast casual joints, and the mega fast food chains like Wendy's.
