Need a $6 winter pick-me-up? Halfway to Burger Week has got you. Here’s the list.
One day it will be warm and you will feel like sitting on a patio somewhere eating a great burger.
But for now, you can only dream about it and enjoy Halfway to Burger Week, which celebrates the annual summer dining event, Lexington Burger Week, which will return July 11-17.
Halfway to Burger Week, which is also coordinated by Smiley Pete, is Feb. 2-6 this year.
The offerings will be 12 unique burgers at 15 locations for $6 each. Purchase of sides and beverages is extra and encouraged.
The local burgers include some of the best options of 2021’s Burger Week (including some that aren’t really burgers at all — pizza, dessert anyone?).
Halfway to Burger Week burgers are available at Big City Pizza (Hamburg location only), First Watch (four locations), Goodwood (Lexington location only), La Petite Delicat (two unique “burger” macarons), LaRosa’s Pizzeria (two locations in Lexington and one in Brannon Crossing), Mi Pequena Hacienda (both locations), The Sage Rabbit, Stella’s Kentucky Deli, and Zim’s Cafe.
