CT Restaurants Get Ready to Grill Up Deals for National Cheeseburger Day

National Cheeseburger Day is around the corner, and restaurants across Connecticut are offering deals to celebrate. This annual event honors the iconic American dish, but few know its origins. According to Time, Lionel Sternberger 'experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger' at just 16 years old while working at his father's restaurant in Pasadena, California, in 1924.

Several restaurants are participating in the festivities. Applebee's is offering a deal on its classic cheeseburgers and burgers for $8.99 either online, in-restaurant, or through their app. Buffalo Wild Wings customers can buy one cheeseburger and get one free by using code BURGERDAY on Friday.

Other participating restaurants include Five Guys, McDonald's, Red Robin, Shake Shack, Smashburger, Wayback Burgers, and Wendy's. Each restaurant has its own unique promotion, so it's worth checking with your local location for details. Whether you're a rewards member or not, there are plenty of options to satisfy your cheeseburger cravings.
