Cincinnati Burger Week is back, bringing $6 beefy bites (plus plenty of vegetarian options) from nearly 100 different local restaurants to the hungry mouths of the Queen City. The week-long event begins July 12 and continues through July 18. Participants can snag a Burger Passport and receive stamps for each restaurant they visit. Collect at least 5 stamps and be eligible for a very special grand prize drawing featuring the Ultimate Grill Out, Jack Daniels swag and $250 in gift cards. And with so many excellent options to choose from, we decided to put together some stand-out and over-the-top creations that burger fanatics won't want to miss (although all of the participants will be slinging some mouthwatering burgs). Here's a list of the most creative burgers you will find during Cincinnati's 2021 Burger Week. See the full list of Burger Week participants here.
