September Means Burger Time in Gatlinburg!
The best thing between two slices of bread—with the exception of peanut butter, in my opinion—is a meat patty. Gatlinburger Week is back for another savory bite during the week of September 17-23. Restaurants will have specialty burgers not on their regular menu for guests to sink their teeth into.
What’s in it for you? Download the Visit Gatlinburg app, check-in, take a picture of your burger, share it with your favorite social media account, and cast your vote for the best burger. Prizes are guaranteed after 3 burger visits, but just one will earn you an entry for the grand prize, which is a 2 night Gatlinburg stay, plus free attractions passes. Wanna know where to go? Let’s get into it!
