National Cheeseburger Day is fast approaching. We celebrate that delectable hunk of beef covered in cheese on September 18th! And Wendy's is serving up a deal, that quite honestly can't be beat. On September 18th, National Cheeseburger Day, you will be able to get a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for just 1 cent. Yes, Wendy's is offering burgers for just 1 cent. It sounds too good to be true, but somehow it is real. The deal is available with any purchase. So get yourself some fries and a drink, and that burger is as close to free as it could possibly be. Seriously how great is that? You can't get anything for 1 cent. Heck, these days you can't get anything for a dollar (thanks Dollar Tree for raising your prices).

The offer is only available at participating U.S. Wendy’s for a limited time.  To redeem customers will need to visit the Wendy’s App or websitePlease note that account registration is required to take advantage of this price. See offers in Wendy’s App or order.wendys.com for further details.

But seriously someone please remind me of this because I'm broke and I will 100% be taking advantage of this deal. Plus anything with cheese and bacon I'm always in the mood for! Maybe I'll even spring for a pumpkin frosty.  Can you think of a better deal than Wendy's offering burgers for 1 cent?

The 15 Best Burgers In Charlotte North Carolina

Today, August 25th is National Burger Day. Which is another fantastic holiday.  Especially as a child, I was a burger connoisseur. I had probably eaten one at every restaurant in Charlotte. As I've gotten older my pallet has slightly expanded and in an effort to keep my waist from doing the same, I don't order them for every meal like I once did. But don't let that sentiment fool you, I still love a good burger! But who has the best burgers in Charlotte? I'm not so sure anymore. So I was excited about making this list. And while the heavy hitters (many of which I love) definitely made an appearance on this list, there were some I wasn't familiar with (and I can't wait to try!). In fact, I know what I'm doing for lunch today.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57, and french fried potatoes. A big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer... Ok, that's not actually my preference (shoutout to Jimmy Buffett) but it does need to always have cheese. And lots of it. Bacon also helps a burger go from good to great in my opinion. Many restaurants have a special sauce to make them stand out. Or crazy combinations you wouldn't think of. Do you like yours old-fashioned, fancy, with chili, or plain jane? Fries or Tots? Milkshake, soda, or beer to wash it down? Charlotte has a burger spot for you.

The rankings come from the review site Yelp and are based on the "highest rated" feature. There are 15 burger restaurants all in the Charlotte city limits. For restaurants with more than one location, they are combined and ranked where the highest rated location was. This list features 15 restaurants but there are obviously many other fantastic places to grab a burger. What's your favorite spot? Let us know on social media.
