Burger lovers can find several deals from local and national chains during National Hamburger Day.
It takes place on Thursday, May 28, but several deals are already in effect or will be extended through the weekend.
May is National Hamburger Month as well, with limited-time burgers available from chains such as Denny’s, which has a He-Man Battle Burger tied to the upcoming “Masters of the Universe” movie opening June 5.
There’s also a National Cheesburger Day, but that won’t happen until Sept. 18.
