18 years of Burger Beast. I still can’t believe I’m saying that.
This Saturday, September 12th, I’m celebrating Burger Beast’s 18th Bloggiversary at Harry’s Smoke & Dough, and I’d really love to see you there.
When I started Burger Beast in September 2008, there was no grand plan. I wanted a place to write about burgers, restaurants and the food I loved. Somehow that turned into 18 years of eating, writing, traveling, events, friendships, arguments about burgers, some ridiculous adventures and a whole lot of memories.
None of it happens without the people who have supported Burger Beast along the way. Whether you’ve been reading since 2008, found me last week, came to a Burger Beast event, bought my book, recommended a restaurant, shared one of my posts or simply stopped me somewhere to talk food, thank you.
So Saturday is about celebrating all of it.
Harry’s Smoke & Dough and Empanada Harry’s put together a special Burger Beast 18th Bloggiversary Menu for the night, including smoked burgers, the Hijo de Cruz Diablo, Beast Preparada, bacon jam sliders, BBQ, croqueta poppers, Arbetter’s Chili & Cornbread, Azucar Ice Cream topped desserts and plenty more.
There are no tickets and no admission charge. Just show up, hang out, and buy, eat and drink whatever you want.
📅 Saturday, September 12
⏰ 6–9 PM
📍 Harry’s Smoke & Dough
4013 SW 152nd Ave, Miami
And keep an eye on my posts later this week. I’ll also have a very small run of Burger Beast 18th Anniversary merch available Saturday, including the Local Nobody T-shirt and limited-edition Burger Beast tote bags. Quantities are very limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
I don’t throw myself birthday parties, but Burger Beast only turns 18 once.
Come eat something, have a brewski, say hello and help me celebrate 18 years of this crazy thing.
See you Saturday.
