Griddled thin with crispy edges, thick and juicy and loaded with the works, or even made of only plants: Burgers are beloved in so many ways.

Now the country's week-long celebration of all things burger perfection has doubled: Le Burger Week will run for two weeks this time around, featuring burgers at restaurants across Metro Vancouver.

Typically held Sept. 1 through 7, the Quebec-based Le Burger Week 2021 will kick off at the same time but run through Sept. 14.

Organizers say they expect 1,000 restaurants across Canada will take part.

During those two delicious weeks, diners are encouraged to visit participating restaurants in their area, and order up the Le Burger Week item. 

Vancouver restaurants can sign up to have their burger creation included in Le Burger Week, and the fans can go eat them and vote for their favourites.

Launched nearly a decade ago in Montreal, the annual event has brought burger lovers together in numerous Canadian cities since 2017, when the fest expanded to include Quebec City, Cornwall, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon and, Vancouver.

Le Burger Week’s overall mission has always been to support local restaurants by increasing their sales and awareness through festival participation, explain organizers.

"To be able to grow on this mission and continue to help restaurant communities for 10 years now in some markets is a dream come true! Let’s celebrate something inclusive, fun and delicious together all while supporting local restaurant communities across Canada!” urges Le Burger Week co-founder Na’eem Adams. 

This year, Burger Week will again be supporting Anorexia and Bulimia Québec (ANEB), a Quebec-based organization that aims to fight and destigmatize eating disorders and, United Way Canada, a national non-profit organization that works to raise funds and invest in improving lives in local communities. Through Le Burger Week, a percentage of every burger sold at a participating restaurant will be donated back to these organizations.

In past years, Vancouver spots like Fable Diner, Pourhouse, Bells and Whistles, and many more have taken part in Le Burger Week.

We can expect to learn more about where in Metro Vancouver you can celebrate Le Burger Week soon.
