May is Hamburger Month! And it’s also National Barbecue Month. Seem like a coincidence? No one seems to know. But what they do know is that the burgers hit the grill in huge numbers in the month of May.

The holiday month is sponsored by the oldest and most (in)famous hamburger chain in the U.S. — White Castle. But it’s also celebrated and supported by burger joints large and small all over the country. There will be burger tastings, cook-offs, festivals and, best of all, some places will give you a FREE burger on May 28.

But the best way to celebrate the savory sandwich is to fire up the grill and have a party of your own. There are tons of recipes to to satisfy every palate and diet. From stuffed beef patties to turkey burgers and “tofurgers” for vegans, there’s more than one way to grill up a perfect burger!
