Episode Details

We’re currently smack dab in the middle of the Portland Mercury’s most popular themed food week: Burger Week 2023. Every year, dozens of local restaurants create a specialty burger and then offer it at a ridiculously low price: All for the love of burgers. And this year there are nearly 80 restaurants taking part! 

Yes: That’s an impossible number of burgers to eat in a week. So today on City Cast Portland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden, editor for Eater Portland, is helping narrow down which burgers should make your list.
