Explore Gwinnett celebrates a decade of culinary creativity with $10 chef-crafted burgers at 23 locally owned restaurants March 17–23
Explore Gwinnett, the official tourism organization of Gwinnett County, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its popular Gwinnett Burger Week. Making its anticipated return March 17–23, the event invites burger lovers to enjoy exclusive, chef-crafted creations for just $10 at 23 locally owned restaurants across the county.
“We are proud to celebrate a decade of Gwinnett Burger Week and the incredible talent of some of our very best local chefs,” said Lisa Anders, chief operating officer of Explore Gwinnett.
“What started as a way to highlight locally owned eateries has grown into a beloved tradition, and we cannot wait for the community to see what we have in store for them this year!”
Throughout the week, each of 23 participating restaurants will feature an exclusive, off-menu burger.
A few highlights include:
- “The Alma” at Marlow’s Tavern (Duluth) — a perfectly seasoned and grilled burger with salsa verde, pepper jack, fried jalapenos, avocado, tortilla strips, lettuce, tomato and onion on a buttered sesame brioche bun.
- “The Popperazzi” at LR Burger — a Double Smashburger with fried jalapenos, honey bacon and cream cheese.
- “The B&W Smoke House Smash Burger” at B&W Burgers, Buns & Brews — a Smash Burger with two quarter-pound patties topped with cheese, bratwurst, bacon, onion straws and BBQ drizzle. Winner of the 2024 Burger Week People’s Choice Award.
- “The GW Feature Burger” at Good Word Brewing & Public House — one 4 oz. grass-fed patty, horseradish cheddar, house-cured bacon bits, crispy jalapenos, sliced sweet onion and boiled peanut mayo on an Alon’s bun.
- “The Blue Blaze” at Local on North — a 5.5 oz. burger with secret sauce, candied chipotle maple bacon, blue cheese, lettuce and tomato.

The Wall of Fame
