When it comes to fake national holidays it's hard to top the one that celebrates charbroiled ground chuck on a toasted sesame bun.

National Hamburger Day is upon the Republic and it is every citizen's duty to devour at least one at every meal today—including breakfast, especially if it's got a fried egg on top. While a burger is traditionally defined as a beef patty, fictitious lawmakers have loosened the definition allowing turkey, pork and meatless patties to be acceptable despite objections from the White House.

Here are a few places around the Old Pueblo that are more than willing to help you fulfill your civic duty:

Fire N' Smoke Wood Fired Pizza and BBQ
6502 E Tanque Verde Rd
(520) 300-6686

The man who brought you Lindy's on 4th is serving up a tasty meat treats that are hard beat at his new joint, Fire N' Smoke Wood Fired Pizza and BBQ.
