No burger week? no problem

If you, like me, are besides themselves with nostalgia from the previous Visa Burger Week,please find comfort in knowing that you are not alone. Be encouraged in knowing that you can recreate your very own burger week. With a pull of friends, you can decide to have a lovely burger potluck weekend outdoors.

We have started you off with a simple recipe for one burger. Rally your friends around designing their own, bring them out to review. Share with us photos and reviews and we may just publish them.
