Cheeseburger Week returns February 23 to March 1
The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, after consulting with our restaurant members, deferred Cheeseburger Week to the end of February. We felt it important to not distract from firefighting and recovery efforts in January.
NOW HOWEVER, IT IS TIME TO ENJOY SOME TASTY BURGERS AND MORE AS CHEESEBURGER WEEK RETURNS FROM FEBRUARY 23RD TO MARCH 1ST.
During Cheeseburger Week 2025 Pasadena dines in honor of Lionel Sternberger, the culinary genius WHO WAS THE FIRST to put cheese to hamburger in 1924. His Aristocratic Burger was an instant culinary hit at the Rite Spot in west Pasadena!
Since 2011, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce has celebrated Cheeseburger Week as away to showcase Pasadena’s culinary history and highlight another aspect of Pasadena innovative past. (Julia Child, our first culinary TV celebrity was born and raised in Pasadena.)
For 2025, we are showcasing Pasadena’s burger impresarios at their finest.
