Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day 2019 With Steals & Deals

CALIFORNIA —Wednesday, Sept. 18 likely ranks among key "holidays" for cheeseburger aficionados — as it is National Cheeseburger Day.

Food lore attributes the sandwich's beginnings to a teen, who created the juicy burger-option in 1926 while working as a fry cook at his father's Pasadena sandwich shop, "The Rite Spot."

To celebrate this year, Patch brings you such specials offered at California restaurants as a $2 "Big Cheese" at Farmer Boys, a Black Angus beer-and-burger deal, MOOYAH freebies, an eating challenge at Fuddruckers, a two-for-one at Wendy's, an ultra-spicy burger that requires signed waiver before ordering at Slater's 50/50, plus a unique, vegan, beet-made "burger" at True Food Kitchen.

Peruse the list, find deals near you, and Happy National Cheeseburger Day, from Patch!
