Jacksonville, we need to settle something. 🍔
It’s National Double Cheeseburger Day, which seems like a perfectly good reason to talk burgers.
Classic cheeseburger? Smash burger? Bacon piled high? The kind that requires two hands and absolutely no dignity while eating it? We’re not here to judge. 😉
We just want to know: What’s your favorite burger in Jacksonville? Tell us what you order in the comments — or better yet, show us a photo! 📸🍔
📸 Burgers pictured from The Corner Deli, K’s Creek, Mulligan’s, Proud Richard’s, BurgerBoard, and Guse’s.
And we know there are plenty more where these came from. Find more places to eat at JacksonvilleIL.org.
