I saw this info up on a local White Castle sign the other day and wondered whether it pertained to a national promotion or not. Lo and behold, it actually did. Here’s what’s written online:
“National Hamburger Month May 2008: Celebrate with 27ยข Hamburgers on Tuesday, May 27th ONLY from 2:00 pm – 3:27 pm. (At participating castles only. Limit 10. Cheese & Bacon extra. Dine-in and drive-thru only, no phone orders.)”
So I guess this isn’t just a Memorial Day promo come a day late — especially for those of us no longer off on a bank holiday in America. Hope you don’t mind your hamburgers in the midafternoon! Around 18 hours left tah go…

Price: $4.29
Availability: 11 A.M. – 5 P.M., Mon. – Sat.; call to be sure
Location: 1724 S. River Rd., Des Plaines, IL 60018 (map); phone: (847) 699-8590
Rating: 5 out of 5 – great
Status: independent
Judging by the regular restaurant hours listed above, you can see how this decidedly non-chain establishment doesn’t really cater to the dinner crowd. Reports seem to indicate lines out the door on Saturdays, so the 5-10 minutes I might wait on any given weekday to make an order might appear quite reasonable in comparison. If the time (and fuel spent) driving out to this northwest suburb from the city only makes a trip out to River Road that much more doubtful, take heart: the Char Cheddar Burger at Paradise Pup is destination dining for this Snob, and it’s well worth your money.

Price: $0.99; paid – $0.59
Promotion: 59-cent Tuesdays
Location: 2401-2407 W. Ogden Ave., Chicago, IL 60608 (map); phone: (312) 243-5293
Rating: 3 out of 5 – acceptable
Like its cheeseburger brother, the BK Hamburger serves up some decent value in a remarkably short package. (You could say “thin,” but unless you’re talking vertically, this burger’s still larger and wider than one from White Castle.) The difference between Burger King’s Hamburger and its Cheeseburger would seem to only encompass 10 to 20 cents — depending on the sale price — and a slice of melted cheese, but that seems to make all the difference to this rater in terms of total taste and final score.
