One of the most celebrated holidays at Margaritaville, National Hamburger Month, is back to honor a true American icon—the hamburger. Starting May 1st, Margaritaville Restaurants across the country will celebrate the entire month with specialty burgers that pay homage to regions of the Americas, from the Bayou to Baja. Margaritaville will also pay tribute to its signature burger “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” that has been served with a side of fun for almost 30 years.
To prepare for the month-long celebration, Margaritaville reached out to thousands of fans through e-mail and social media, encouraging them to share their version of the perfect hamburger. The burger components surveyed ranged from the preferred type of patty to toppings, condiments, buns and sides. Out of the 17,000+ respondents, almost 82% of those surveyed preferred beef to turkey or vegetarian patties. An astounding 93% voted cheese as the number one topping, with cheddar as the favorite. Lettuce, tomato, bacon and pickles also got top votes. Ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard were the most popular condiments with Barbecue Sauce and Heinz 57 coming in 4th and 5th. Naturally, the favorite side item was French fried potatoes with 77% of the respondents opting for a Big Kosher Pickle and 53% choosing a cold draft beer as their beverage of choice to enjoy with their burger.
