Burger of the Month is born…

It all started with Pinky the Pig, the coolest kindergarten teacher ever, and some really creative kids. Rieley read Hamburger Heaven to Mrs. Macintosh’s kindergarten class at Father Lacombe Catholic School, and the kids created their dream hamburgers after. One week later these kids became the very first guest chefs of the Burger of the Month tradition with $2 of every burger sold going to a local charity of their choice.
