Good morning guys it's Adam Cooper here from My Halifax.
This week is one of my favourite weeks in Halifax or my favourite weeks to be in Halifax.
It's Burger Week!
So for those of you who don't know that burger week is, where have you been!?
It's been going on for 6 years.
It was started by The Coast Publishing who are the guys who run The Coast magazine which
is a local magazine here in Halifax.
It has done some outstanding work in our community in terms of supporting Feed Nova Scotia.
So basically for anyone who's new to Halifax and does not know what I'm talking about.
Burger Week is a festival or a kind of week long celebration of burgers right here in
the city.
This year we have over 120 restaurants involved.
I think it's 125.
They all have signature burgers that they put on and every time you buy a burger you actually
give money back to one of our local non-profits Feed Nova Scotia.
So these just aren't any burgers.
They are some of the most unique, best tasting, best looking burgers in the city.
SO they are divided into two categories: The $6 burger which is a special feature for Halifax
burger week.
Or the Feed Nova Scotia burgers.
Now those burgers are sometimes more than $6 but they come with a donation to Feed Nova
Scotia.
So whether you buy a $6 Burger or a Feed Nova Scotia burger, what you're really doing is
supporting charity on one hand and supporting the city on the other.Or just enjoying supporting
local in general.
But it's not all about the burgers.
So for every $2 Feed Nova Scotia get, they can actually give out 3 meals to a family.
Even though it doesn't sound like a lot of money, it actually makes a huge difference.
I know growing up as a kid for me, there were times when money was short or times were tough.
You know the economy changes and people lose their jobs that kind of stuff.
The one thing that always resonated with me or the one thing that I kind of knew that
money was tight was the food would change.
We would have more soups and stews and meals you could stretch.
For a lot of people in Halifax that need charities like Feed Nova Scotia, without their donation
and their help, they literally won't eat.
It may seem like, oh it's only $2, but that's going to make a hug difference to a family.
So that's one of the reasons why we at My Halifax have always loved the work that Feed
Nova Scotia have done and also why it's so cool what The Coast have actually done with
Burger Week.
We are a big believer in supporting local and they've managing to do that in two different
ways.
You've got them helping support and bring business in to 125 different restaurants while
at the same time giving back to an organization like Feed Nova Scotia.
If you're out and about looking for food, this week when burger week's running, you
can double down and help a local business and a local charity.
There's a ton of work by The Coast that goes into an event like this.
There's billboards everywhere, there's radio slots, there's even a giant inflatable burger
that if you find in the city because it's moved every day, you actually can win prizes.
You can win gift cards so you can go an participate in burger week and there's also a passport
prize where if you get 3 burgers from 3 different locations, you get your passport stamped and
you can win beer for a year.
That's the nice thing about this event is it doesn't really, I mean I call it a festival
cause I didn't know what else to call it but it feels like the entire city is in on this
and it's just a giant community that's about to flood downtown Halifax to come and eat
some burgers support local charity and everyone's talking about burger week.
It's like this huge energy around it.
I've seen people swapping maps to say these are where I've gone, this is where I recommend
we go.
It's nice to have an event that flows throughout Halifax and Dartmouth and just makes everyone
get so excited about being in Halifax.
That's a really cool thing to see.
For those of you who are like you're feeling excited and you're feeling like you want to
participate in burger week, I have 3 plans of attack that I think might help you out.
If you're a beginner, I recommend you look at the map, download it from The Coast Web
site which we'll link in the description below and then just read some of the burgers and
think I wanna try that and just get your feet wet by trying whether it's 3, 4, 5 or 7 different
burgers just so you can a feel for what kind of burger week is and then just you know ease
yourself into it.
I call this the Beginners Guide to Burger Week.
My second strategy is what I call the Feed Nova Scotia strategy.
It's where you go around and you basically just choose from the Feed Nova Scotia list.
If you can do all of the burgers, that's a lot of burgers.
That's also raises a lot of money too.
My final strategy which I'm going to call the Holy Grail cause I'm not sure if anyone
has actually done it and it might take a team.
Let's change that, let's call this the Burger Week Team Attack.
Get a couple of people, you might need a lot and attack the map.
You might divide it into streets, quadrants, whatever it is but try and do the entire burger
week.
In this case that's 125 burgers which is a lot of money to Feed Nova Scotia and that's
a lot of families you've been able to help and you know what else is?
That's a ton of fun.
So for last years video what we actually did was we picked 5 burgers and that year there
were 90 restaurants participating.
We reviewed all 5.
I didn't eat them on camera because I don't like eating on camera because my face gets
messy and it's just gross.
No one wants to hear me eat on camera.After we did that I then went and tried other burgers
because I was enjoying the burger week fun.
Then I remember I was like aww I should have reviewed more burgers.
That's why we took this approach we kind of explain the history of it because I think
it's really cool waht The Coast have done and what burger week has become.
You think about it a couple guys and girls got together, came up with the idea for burger
week and now it's this massive thing with 125 restaurants raising over hundred of thousands
of dollars for Feed Nova Scotia.
I think that's really cool to celebrate that.
With that being said, I do now have a favourite burger week burger which is the donair burger
from Johnny K's.
That's going to be my first burger that I'm going to start with and that's where we're
going to go right now!
So I hope you guys are enjoying burger week.
It runs until the 28th so you've still got plenty of time to go out there and enjoy some
of the best burgers that you're going to see right here in Halifax.
Congratulations to The Coast for another 6th year of doing burger week.
This week has been bigger then last year and I'm sure next year is going to be even bigger.

Although $2 or $5 or $10 doesn't sound like a lot of money.
For every $2 Feed Nova Scotia get, they can actually distribute, distribute, distribute?......
distribute....I'm saying that weird.
