National food holidays really seem to offer a delightful distraction from the monotony of our daily routine. Restoring our sanity and uplifting our souls with a little excuse to celebrate this week is National Cheeseburger Day. This Saturday, September 18, what better way to take a break from the maddening mundanity and recharge than to bite into the cheesy, gooey, meaty goodness that is a classic American-made cheeseburger? 

Pizza N’ Brew, having recently opened its downtown location on Main Street last month (second to its original Siesta Key location). And, the newly hopping bar/restaurant has added burgers to its already popular pizza, calzone and wings menu. Find a juicy, ground sirloin patty, accompanied by bleu cheese, bacon, caramelized onion and tomato on the menu with the name The Bleu’s burger—one of Pizza N’ Brew’s new signature items. Take the same patty and caramelized onions, but substitute the bleu with swiss, add roasted mushrooms and steak sauce, and now you have the Shroom and Swiss burger. And for those who like to keep it simple, or create their preferred combo, Pizza N’ Brew also has the option for diners to build their own burger. 

And if Saturday is still too long to wait to satisfy your every-growing cheeseburger craving, pop into Pizza N’ Brew on Wednesday for the all-day Burger special, which runs every week and includes any burger and domestic draft beer for only $12. If you didn’t have a reason to celebrate before, now you definitely do.
