Bostonians can always think of a good reason to go out and celebrate and this Wednesday will be no exception, but it will be extra special.
To celebrate National Cheeseburger Day on September 18, here are some great excuses to indulge in one of the country’s most popular foods.
Below, we have rounded up some of our favorite spots to overindulge and honor America’s favorite sandwich this week.
At The Capital Grille, diners can celebrate their favorite foodie holiday not only on Wednesday, but for two months. Running now through November 1, guests can enjoy their popular Wagyu & Wine pairing where you can choose among three gourmet burgers paired up with three Duckhorn Portfolio Reds served by the glass.
Each Wagyu & Wine offering is accompanied by a side of duck fat sea salt fries along with suggested wine pairings that include:

For the ultimate indulgence during Wagyu & Wine, guests can opt to upgrade their fries to Chips & Caviar, a decadent caramelized onion and caviar dip served with housemade chips.
Over on Newbury Street, The Capital Burger might be one of the top spots to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day. From a roasted wild mushroom and Swiss topped burger with 15-year aged balsamic vinegar, Jarlsberg Swiss and truffle aioli to a blue cheese and truffle burger with cabernet braised red onions, the entire menu here is dedicated to the elevated burger experience. Their burgers are crafted from a proprietary beef blend and are accompanied by a side of sea salt fries. Pair it up with a hand-spun boozy shake or award-winning wine for an unforgettable dining experience for either lunch or dinner.
