It's a great day for a cheeseburger on National Cheeseburger Day!

Cheeseburgers rule, especially when they're created with top quality ground round beef with a Ciabatta or Kaiser bun. When I cook up cheeseburgers at home, I'll buy one pound of the leanest beef I can find and mix in a package of onion soup mix with a splash of A1 Sauce and a splash of Soy Sauce along with a healthy sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mmmm Mmmmm! According to cheeseburger lovers in greater Danbury, I've listed 10 of the best locations to find a succulent mouth watering cheeseburger on National Cheeseburger Day 2018.

    The Little Pub - Ridgefield

    The Little Pub is located at 59 Ethan Allen Highway(Rt.7) in Ridgefield and scores 4/5 on Yelp.

    What I find fascinating is they offer 12 different burgers from their 'You'll Need Three Hands' to their 'Double Onion' which is my fav. Their burger menu confirms America's love affair with bacon. Check out their menu at littlepub.com.
