​Sweet dreams are made of cheese: Le Burger Week 2020 is here

By: Peg City Grub // August 27, 2020 // Burgers

It’s the comfort food we’ve so desperately needed this year – our favourite local restaurants bringing their AAA-game to the week-long festival celebrating the best burgers in Canada.

This year, it will be called Le Cheeseburger Week. 

With 130 restaurants participating (and even more on the waitlist), so far, Manitoba boasts the most entries that the festival has seen across Canada.

From September 1 to 7, every corner of Winnipeg will be cooking up cheesy creations. Vegans, lactose-intolerants, and haters of cheese (how could you?) fear not – the festival makes sure there’s something for everyone including veggie options, dessert burgers and gluten-free picks.

What’s new this year

Bringing everyone together and rallying around our culinary community during a tough time, Le Burger Week has replaced the voting system this year with a donate button to charity partnerships. Donations will go to United Way, focusing on food security programs throughout the city.

There will still be a winner as sponsors  Lightspeed and Saputo will pick their favourite burgers.

A focus on take-out and delivery will also be key. Avoid visiting restaurants in large groups and make sure to follow social distancing protocols.

Plan your week

Get a head start by browsing through all 130 burgers at  leburgerweek.com. This many cheesy burgers can be overwhelming, so we’ve put together a list of some of the burgers we’re most excited to try. Photos courtesy of Le Burger Week.
